    Towards a Hybrid, Flexible, and Socially Engaged Higher Education

      FROM EUROPEAN UNION

      Reporting on the progress of the European Strategy for Universities
      The European Universities Initiative is one of the key pillars of the European Education Area. It is aimed at finding new ways of long-term structural, sustainable, and systemic cooperation between higher education institutions from all across Europe, on education, research and innovation. 

      Two new studies shed light on the progress of key initiatives of the European strategy for universities, supporting the European Education Area: on the state and effectiveness of national funding systems of higher education to support the European Universities Initiative, and on the road towards a possible Joint European Degree
