EUA Annual Report 2019

This scenario was peppered with major developments like the 20th anniversary of the Bologna Process and the launch of the European Universities Initiative. There were also significant changes within the Association notably a renewal in the EUA leadership and the beginning of a strategic review.

This Annual Report is proof of the Association’s concrete efforts against this backdrop. In 2019 EUA served as a watchdog for the sector in Brussels influencing policy decisions and informing members. It also worked with higher education institutions across the continent to show the impact of universities on a broad scale. Furthermore the Association’s new leadership began analysing how to champion the creation of a European university system that will partner with and compete successfully with those emerging in other regions of the world.  

EUA members were a valuable part of this effort as their input fed into the many discussions and publications featured in this report.
