Internationalisation of European Universities Alliances: new frontier, new diplomacy (2024) Internationalisation of European Universities Alliances: new frontier, new diplomacy (2024) ============================================================================================= - European Degree - Student Mobility - European Universities initiative - Communication and Dissemination - Policy recommendations - Academics - Researchers - Policy makers The concept of “new frontiers” could be explored in relation to the polyvalence and new challenges of the academic field. This concept invites us to rethink the structures, processes, and interactions within and beyond higher education institutions. **Prof. Romita IUCU, Ph.D.** (University of Bucharest, Romania & CIVIS) underscores the potential of alliances to break down institutional barriers through innovative learning models. His discussion of the project Digitally Enhanced Mobility showcases how alliances are at the forefront of redefining education in a post-pandemic world and how alliances represent a potential “new frontier” of diplomacy. To sum up, the discussion highlighted both the potential and challenges of expanding EUAs' global reach. Initiatives like the European Degree show promise but risk dominance by wealthier institutions. Branding may strain identities, and the debate over thematic vs. broader internationalisation raises concerns about flexibility and governance. *Presented on September 17, 2024, in Toulouse, France.

That was the clear message from the keynote panel held on 28 April, 2026 in Brussels as part of the CIVIS Units Summit, which brought together representatives from EU institutions, researchers and alliance leaders to take stock of achievements and challenges ahead and discuss with over 70 CIVIS Staff members about the future of alliances. - European Degree - European Universities initiative - Communication and Dissemination - Article - Audiovisual materials - Video - Students - Academics - Researchers - Administrators - Policy makers [ See more ](https://civis.eu/el/resources/european-universities-alliances-impact-insights-and-the-road-ahead-april-2026 "European Universities alliances: Impact, Insights, and the Road Ahead (April 2026)") - ### Briefing paper: Building a bridge towards Africa and the Mediterranean Region (2021) Building partnerships with African and Mediterranean universities outside Europe is an importantstrategic aim of CIVIS and one of its distinct features as a European University alliance (1). By 2022, the end of CIVIS’ “fabric phase”, our alliance seeks to win at least one partner institution in the target regions for each of its established thematic Hubs (2). This implies initiating some first joint pilot projects as well as to prepare and adopt longer-term strategic partnership agreements between CIVIS and partner universities. - Global partnerships - Audiovisual materials - Report - Academics - Researchers - Administrators - Policy makers [ See more ](https://civis.eu/el/resources/briefing-paper-building-a-bridge-towards-africa-and-the-mediterranean-region-2021 "Briefing paper: Building a bridge towards Africa and the Mediterranean Region (2021)") ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
