Report on the StrMnt webinar: The European Alliances initiative and its governance structures

By Isabelle Delariviere In New

During this Webinar the European University Association (EUA) elaborated on the European Universities Initiative of the EU.  

What is the added value of this initiative in Europe’s University landscape, and what has been reached so far. Examples of several alliances were presented as well as the outcomes of a briefing paper. This publication explores the governance set-up of the European University Alliances formed under the EU’s European Universities Initiative. It presents a comparative overview of the complex governance structures of these networks, examining their ability to sustain beyond the three-year project timeframe, while remaining relevant for their members. The analysis highlights several challenges that focus on the alliances’ governance sustainability and draws the attention of universities and policy makers to the conditions needed to sustain their financial capacity and ensure increased collaboration and better alignment with institutional strategic priorities.

This webinar was presented by Thomas Estermann, Director, Governance, Funding and Public Policy Development at EUA and Enora Pruvot, Deputy Director for Governance, Funding and Public Policy Development at EUA.
