Future Governance Models of the European Universities
Discuss issues and further deepen the reflection around the European Universities initiative.
The event is free but registration is mandatory
One of the challenges for the 41 European University alliances is the definition of governance and management structures, not only during the pilot period but also in the long run. Although a variety of models have already been implemented inside the existing alliances, several issues remain to be clarified, especially outside the alliances and related with their legal statute in the European arena for education and research transformation.
In order to discuss these issues and further deepen the reflection around the European Universities initiative, the FilmEU Alliance is promoting a conference in Brussels on the 5th of May on the topic of “Future Governance models of the European Universities”. Like all other Alliances involved in this pioneer European initiative, FilmEU is eager to further discuss with other stakeholders the possible future governance models of the European Universities.
The purpose of this one-day conference is to bring together different stakeholders around the European Universities initiative. We want to promote an open debate about governance models and management structures of the future European Universities, and the challenges and problems associated with their implementation.
The conference will be a live event and will take place on campus Sint-Lukas (Paleizenstraat 70, 1030 Schaarbeek - BE). Furthermore, the event will be streamed via Zoom simultaneously.
