Public Panel Discussion on European Universities alliances - CIVIS Days (2024) Public Panel Discussion on European Universities alliances - CIVIS Days (2024) ============================================================================== - Communication and Dissemination - European Universities initiative - Audiovisual materials - Video - Academics - Policy makers - Researchers After around five years of development of the European Universities alliances, the roundtable discussed what experiences had been made so far, what opportunities, but also what challenges had been presented to the participating universities under the respective national and European framework conditions. The aim was to identify topics of relevance to the work of all alliances and to discuss examples of best practice. Finally, the discussants attempted to provide an outlook on the future development of the alliances. The discussion explored the evolution of the European Universities alliances, beginning with **reflections on how the early phase of the initiative had been perceived and how the programme had already changed participating institutions.** Speakers examined the relationship between these emerging alliance formats and long‑established **mobility schemes and funding mechanisms,** considering how both could coexist and complement one another. They also discussed **strategies for building an inter-university campus**, comparing approaches that relied on developing new central infrastructures with those that focused on connecting existing systems across partner institutions, and reflecting on the lessons learned along the way. [Watch the session](https://www.youtube.com/live/oyXQx_cuDpI) Further topics included the **impact of the alliances on teaching practices**, highlighting concrete examples of innovative pedagogies and their influence on educational transformation. The conversation also addressed inclusion, focusing on how the inter-university campus model could **broaden opportunities for diverse groups within universities.** Looking ahead, participants considered the future of alliances as legal entities, the different paths already taken, and the experiences gained. They concluded by reflecting on the **possible role and positioning of European University Alliances ten years from now.** **Speakers** Melinda Macho, Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research Martina Friedrich, EU Programme Officer, Austrian Agency for Education and Internationalisation Thomas Baumgartner, Head of Aurora European University Office, Innsbruck University Lisa Pfefferseder, CIVIS Student Council, Paris-Lodron University Salzburg Gabriele Permoser, Managing Director, E³UDRES² Allianz, University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten **Moderation:** Martin Knoll, PLUS Scientific Coordinator for CIVIS, Paris-Lodron University Salzburg Other resources --------------- - ### From Structure to Impact: Governance and Management for a Sustainable European University Alliance (Final Report on Management and Governance, CIVIS2, Deliverable D1.3) 26 October 2026 Over four years, the Erasmus+ project CIVIS2 turned an ambitious idea, building the University of the Future, into a reality. Together, we established a functioning transnational European University Alliance. This final report shows how the management and governance structures of the Alliance connect 11 Full Members and 6 Associate Members. It also shows how this institutional architecture underpins concrete results across various CIVIS fields, from challenge-based education to research and civic engagement or mobility. - CIVIS Governance - European Universities initiative - Management - Deliverable - Report - Academics - Administrators - Policy makers [ See more ](https://civis.eu/en/resources/from-structure-to-impact-governance-and-management-for-a-sustainable-european-university-alliance-final-report-on-management-and-governance-civis2-deliverable-d1-3 "From Structure to Impact: Governance and Management for a Sustainable European University Alliance (Final Report on Management and Governance, CIVIS2, Deliverable D1.3)") - ### Member Universities in Europe Logos 1 October 2026 Logos of the 11 member universities in Europe. - Communication and Dissemination - Branding material - Academics - Administrators - Researchers - Students [ See more ](https://civis.eu/en/resources/member-universities-in-europe-logos "Member Universities in Europe Logos") ![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).
