For Aline Miller and Luke Georghiou, it is important to train innovators within universities to bridge the gap between research and societal impact. Here, they highlight how University of Manchester initiatives, as well as efforts to leverage collaboration, regional ecosystems and national initiatives, support innovation and commercialization.
The European Universities Initiative created alliances with big goals, but they must also deal with a complex funding landscape. Five years in, the team from Una Europa describes what their first-hand experiences have taught them about achieving the alliance’s long-term vision.
To achieve EUA’s vision of ‘Strong universities for Europe’, we support our members to excel in the service of society.
EUA counts universities from across Europe, as well as national rectors’ conferences and national university associations, among our members.
EUA is governed by a Board, Council and General Assembly, supported by a Secretariat, and guided by a variety of working groups and committees.
