EUA’s mission as the voice of Europe’s universities is to influence the
outcomes of European level policy debates on issues that will have an
impact both at national level on the work of national university
associations and for the association’s individual member universities.
Equally, EUA looks to support its members in understanding and
responding to these developments in an ever-more complex and competitive
global environment.
As the pan-European platform for
universities, EUA is the key partner for policy makers at European level
in the increasingly broad range of public policy domains in which
universities have a role to play.
The key priorities for
universities and for EUA have been outlined in the
organisation’s
work programme and more recently in the
Prague
Declaration which have been developed and adopted by the
organisations’ member universities. These include:
• Building the
European
Higher Education Area through the Bologna process
•
Research
& Innovation
•
Internationalisation
of higher education and research
• Enhancing the
quality
of European universities
•
Governance,
autonomy and funding
More information about our work in each
of these areas can be found in each of the subsections.
