(26 June 2019) – The European Commission has today announced the higher education institutions from all over Europe that will be part of the first “European Universities” alliances.
Out of 54 applications received, 17 European Universities involving 114 higher education institutions from 24 Member States were selected, based on an evaluation carried out by 26 independent external experts, including rectors, professors and researchers, appointed by the Commission.
European Universities are transnational alliances of higher education institutions from across the EU that share a long-term strategy and promote European values and identity.
The initiative is designed to significantly strengthen mobility of students and staff, and foster the quality, inclusiveness and competitiveness of European higher education.
