Many European universities see themselves as international institutions.
To establish a network for continuing education is one way in which these universities can express their European aspirations. Subsequent meetings of the Network have taken place twice a year, generally in different European countries. At these meetings, in addition to discussing current topics of importance to University Continuing Education, collaborations between the members have been initiated. Presently it has over 150 full member universities from 25 different European countries and about ten associate member institutions. It is already one of the largest university networks in Europe.
