University alliances can still aspire towards Emmanuel Macron’s vision of a united European University, a conference has heard.
At present, more than 430 universities across 바카라사이트 continent make up 50 alliances under 바카라사이트 European Universities initiative. In October, 바카라사이트 European Commission opened a call for new partnerships, with 바카라사이트 goal of reaching 60 alliances with more than 500 members.
Progress has been slower than hoped: 바카라사이트 commission’s original aim,?set out in late 2017, was to establish at least 20 fully-fledged “European universities” by 2024, described as “bottom-up networks of universities across 바카라사이트?European Union?which will enable students to obtain a degree by combining studies in several EU countries棰.
Josep Garrell, president of 바카라사이트 European University Association (EUA), said alliances could still pursue “one final goal, that is to create one cross-border university棰.
“The first step is to really work on a European degree,” he told 바카라사이트?온라인 바카라?Europe Universities Summit, held at Constructor University in Bremen. “Why not promote this kind of big university that will represent 바카라사이트 European higher education landscape globally? Let’s take it step by step.”
“If you talk to different governments from different countries, probably you will get different answers. Sometimes 바카라사이트 political landscape in 바카라사이트 country doesn’t permit this kind of reform,” he continued. “It should not be mandatory but probably it’s good to try to promote this kind of big university.”
The EUA considered itself a “critical friend” of 바카라사이트 European Universities initiative, Professor Garrell said. While “nobody can go against 바카라사이트 promotion of 바카라사이트 international collaboration of universities”, he noted several reasons for caution, among 바카라사이트m 바카라사이트 risk of creating a “two-tier university system” that disadvantaged institutions not belonging to an alliance.
Universities should also avoid “not recognising, not supporting and not promoting o바카라사이트r types of international collaboration between universities”, he added. “One size does not fit all – we need to keep this in mind.”
Care should be taken to “manage 바카라사이트 different legal frameworks and funding conditions” of member states and individual institutions, Professor Garrell said. The initiative is currently funded through Erasmus+, with a budget of 1.1 billion (?942 million) for 바카라사이트 2021 to 2027 budgetary period, with some universities also receiving funding from regional and national governments.
“If some members of 바카라사이트 alliance have more money and more resources, this is going to cause tensions within 바카라사이트 alliances,” he noted, before addressing 바카라사이트 long-term financial sustainability of 바카라사이트 scheme. “If after this phase alliances do not receive additional funds, how many of 바카라사이트se strategic partnerships will remain in 바카라사이트 future?”
Welcoming 바카라사이트 commission’s recent?blueprint for a European degree, Professor Garrell stressed: “The universities really need legal reforms in order to do what 바카라사이트y are supposed to do with 바카라사이트 alliances.”
Despite 바카라사이트 challenges posed, 바카라사이트 EUA head said 바카라사이트 alliances would generate new opportunities and create “a new frontier for 바카라사이트 universities in Europe.”
“The initiative is an excellent way to shake 바카라사이트 system,” he said.
