Toward a European University Alliance
Freie Universität Berlin, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, KU Leuven, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Uniwersytet Jagiello'ski, and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne aim to increase collaboration. No 075/2018 from Apr 24, 2018 Highly regarded universities from six countries in the European Union (EU) have agreed to intensify their cross-border cooperation. Freie Universität Berlin (Germany), Università di Bologna (Italy), KU Leuven (Belgium), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain), Uniwersytet Jagiello'ski (Krakow, Poland), and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (France) set a working agenda for establishing a European university alliance. The rationale behind this step is that universities support important European values and train future talents and are therefore important players for new transnational aspirations and dynamics. The European University Alliance aims to encourage a structural development of the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area, establishing long-term, sustainable, solid, and dynamic relationships. Representatives of the six universities met last Friday in Bologna. The six partner universities already work together in many projects.
