Since 2017, hundreds of universities have formed „European University Alliances“. Will they become sustainable structures in the European higher education landscape? – They receive EU and national funding in order to reorganise student and staff mobility, to experiment with new course formats and create new collaboration models. Digitalisation, micro-credits, cross-border synergies, UN Sustainability Goals are some of the catch phrases of this quiet revolution.


A virtual round table has been set up to learn more about this new phenomenon, „European University Alliances“. To explain and discuss, what they are and what they do. In this first debate of a monthly series, journalist and host Tino Brömme asks: Can there be United Universities of Europe? Can they make higher education better and give meaning to European citizenship? – He has invited five experts who are deeply involved in this process.

Panelists:
• Vanessa Debiais-Sainton, Head of the Unit B1 Higher Education of the European Commission
• Kees Kouwenaar, Coordinator of the AURORA university alliance
• Daniela Trani, director of the YUFE university alliance
