The European University Association is the largest association of European universities. It provides a forum for universities to share expertise, participate in events and peer learning activities, contribute to Europe-wide studies, and much more.
How to apply?EUA provides candidates with an application form, as well as detailed information on the membership process and categories.
Does anything else need to be prepared for the application? Applicants need to provide support letters from five Individual Full EUA Members from at least three countries other than where they are based, each signed by the respective Head of the institution. Alternatively, applicant universities based in countries with a Collective Full Member of EUA may seek endorsement from this Collective Full Member and provide a single letter of support from them, signed by its President. Please note that signatures by other persons (Vice-Rectors, Vice-Presidents, delegates, etc.) are not accepted.
What happens once an application is submitted? All applications are reviewed by the EUA Secretariat and assessed by the EUA Standing Membership Committee, before a decision by the EUA Council.
How much does EUA membership cost? EUA has a differentiated membership fee structure that takes into account the economic strength of the country and the number of students enrolled at the institution.
At EUA, we want membership fees to be equitable and fair for universities in different countries and of different sizes. Therefore, the Association’s fee scale for individual full members and individual associate members is based on the GNP per capita of the member’s country and on the institution’s student numbers.
Please find below an explanatory list of the countries that correspond to each fee category:
For collective members, fees are determined by the size and economic strength of the country and its standard of living.
The fee for affiliates for 2024 is €1,173.
