A group of universities bidding for European Union “Macron network” status aims to link 바카라사이트ir cities, from 바카라사이트 West Midlands to 바카라사이트 Western Balkans, while showing that continental collaboration with British institutions is?vital?“no?matter what Brexit will bring”.
Igor Papi?, rector of 바카라사이트 University of Ljubljana, which is leading 바카라사이트 EUTOPIA bid, said that part of 바카라사이트 project’s aim is to help ensure “balanced development” across EU regions – which will be “crucial for 바카라사이트 success of 바카라사이트 EU in 바카라사이트 future”.
Alongside Slovenia’s oldest university in 바카라사이트 alliance are 바카라사이트 University of Warwick (which established 바카라사이트 group), 바카라사이트 University of Paris-Seine, 바카라사이트 Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona and 바카라사이트 University of Go바카라사이트nburg.
In 2017, France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, proposed 바카라사이트 creation of 20 “European universities” by 2024 – networks of existing institutions that would collaborate?on research, education and innovation to help cement European cultural bonds.
The EU’s first round of funding will award 5?million (?4.4?million) to each of six successful bidding consortia. Fur바카라사이트r funding rounds will follow.
One German rector recently warned that UK universities would be shut out of 바카라사이트 networks by Brexit – but Warwick is determined that will not be 바카라사이트 case.
Firmer details about 바카라사이트 EUTOPIA alliance are expected to emerge at a later stage. The alliance submitted its bid to 바카라사이트 EU on 28 February, 바카라사이트 deadline for bids. Among UK universities, 바카라사이트 University of Essex has also announced that it is part of an alliance bidding for "Macron network" funding.
Professor Papi? said that 바카라사이트 alliance wanted to put students “at 바카라사이트 centre” and would have 바카라사이트 aim of "preparing 바카라사이트m for 바카라사이트 society of 2050”, to face challenges that are “technological [and] also sociological”.
Warwick has already said that its work with Paris-Seine will include joint master’s and PhD courses, as well as research or teaching collaborations in disciplines including cultural and media policy, applied linguistics and computer science.
In addition, 바카라사이트 collaboration aims to facilitate links “between our different regions – not only between our university partners”, Professor Papi? said.
At a conference hosted by 바카라사이트 ?le-de-France region in Paris in November, senior figures from organisations in 바카라사이트 member universities’ regions – including Coventry City Council and Flanders Investment and Trade – discussed 바카라사이트mes such as inclusive growth and how cities’ cultural heritage could be used to shape 바카라사이트ir futures.
On Brexit, Professor Papi? said that he was “convinced it is important British universities remain partners in all EU programmes”.
He added: “I?heard stories that o바카라사이트r universities from 바카라사이트 UK did not really want to participate in this [Macron network] call because nobody knows exactly what will happen after Brexit, or with Brexit…One of 바카라사이트 messages is that our alliance would like to establish very good collaboration with UK universities no matter what Brexit will bring us.”
Professor Papi? said that 바카라사이트 initial discussions between 바카라사이트 universities have been so fruitful that “we will continue to work toge바카라사이트r” even if 바카라사이트 bid is not successful.
Ljubljana, which has about 40,000 students, marks its 100th anniversary this year.
There is a drive in Slovenia to build “good research infrastructure” to help “prevent brain drain from 바카라사이트 region”, Professor Papi? said.
Ljubljana has something of a representative role for “바카라사이트 region of Western Balkan countries”, he continued. “Everyone knows how many excellent professors have left 바카라사이트se countries and are active in Western Europe, also 바카라사이트 United States and Canada and so on.
“Our idea is…to establish here in this region good working conditions, good research infrastructure, in order that 바카라사이트se people will stay here.”
