The next leap forward for transnational cooperation

Supporting sustainability and impact within and beyond European Universities alliances

The European University Association (EUA) calls on European and national policy makers to make a substantial leap forward in supporting transnational university cooperation including the alliances under the European Universities Initiative, through policy reform and funding based on a long-term vision.

The goal for the next years, until 2030, must be to create a strategic, transparent and smooth system of transnational university cooperation that benefits the entire university sector and builds on best practices from within and beyond alliances under the European Universities Initiative. This is crucial to promote high quality in education and research, and thereby unleash the potential of European universities in contributing to Europe’s sustainable future and its international competitiveness.

This EUA position outlines nine key ways in which universities and policy makers can work together over the next years to achieve this.
