First strategic dialogue on European Universities

In 2017, the European Universities initiative was introduced by French President Macron in a speech given at Sorbonne University and launched by the European Commission. The initiative’s goal is to generate unprecedented levels of cooperation to foster strategic partnerships for student mobility, research and excellence; while at the same time boosting the EU’s international performance. Since then, 44 alliances involving 340 higher education institutions have been formed in 31 countries.

Four years after the launch of the first call, many first-generation European Universities are now ending the pilot phase and are starting to further roll out, while others have just recently joined the family. Reflections and discussion on what has been achieved and what the goals could be in the years to come will be the primary aim during this first strategic dialogue on European Universities.

Initiated by the Institut français NL, Studio Europa Maastricht, the YUFE Alliance and Maastricht University, European Universities from the Netherlands and France, as well as from some bordering countries will participate in this annual strategic dialogue. They will exchange best practices, address challenges and show tangible outcomes and inspiring examples of these transnational alliances.
