The European University Association (EUA) is the collective voice of the universities of Europe, institutions that have shaped our world for a millennium. For over two decades, EUA has played a key role in building university communities across the whole of Europe and creating a coherent system for European higher education and research. EUA is a community of over 900 members and affiliates. It represents universities and national rectors’ conferences in 48 European countries, as well as affiliated organisations and networks based both in and beyond Europe.

For Snježana Prijić-Samaržija, global crises, algorithmic biases and anti-gender backlash are ushering in a period of regression in tackling inequality, but initiatives like EUA’s Leadership Development Programme show just how essential gender mainstreaming is to the resilience of higher education and research.
Talented people make up the core of universities. To protect this core, European universities need to navigate regulations, support attractive career paths and promote leadership development for all, argues Karen Vandevelde.
To achieve EUA’s vision of ‘Strong universities for Europe’, we support our members to excel in the service of society.
EUA counts universities from across Europe, as well as national rectors’ conferences and national university associations, among our members.
EUA is governed by a Board, Council and General Assembly, supported by a Secretariat, and guided by a variety of working groups and committees.
