SMARTT kick of meeting Glasgow SMARTT kick of meeting Glasgow ============================== 10 May 2023 We are delighted to announce the successful kick-off of the SMARTT project at the **University of Glasgow**. Our Scottish colleagues extended a warm welcome,![](/storage/files/smartt-kick-off-glasgow-may-2023-2.png) setting the stage for an engaging meeting with partners from across Europe. Together, we are embarking on a challenging pilot to elevate the quality of higher education. During the kick-off event, representatives and experts from CIVIS, participating in this pilot project, united their efforts to shape the project's vision and objectives. One of our primary aims is to establish a unified framework, ensuring consistent quality standards for joint degrees by testing the criteria in **EUROSUD**, an Eramus Mundus Master lead by the University of Glasgow, in collaboration with other three CIVIS members: UAM, AMU, NKUA. This entails promoting a shared vision and initiating the development of a methodology to analyse the quality criteria provided by the Commission. The SMARTT consortium is filled with enthusiasm for the transformative opportunities this initiative will offer to higher education institutions, students, and employers throughout Europe. In the months ahead, the consortium will work collaboratively to develop the necessary framework, guidelines, and tools for the successful implementation of the European Joint Degree label. Throughout this process, regular updates and consultations with stakeholders will be conducted to ensure an inclusive and transparent approach. We are eager to embrace the challenges and opportunities ahead as we advance toward a brighter future for joint degrees in Europe. Stay tuned for further updates as we progress on this impactful journey together! ![](/storage/files/smartt-kick-off-glasgow-may-2023-1.png) **[Learn more about SMARTT](https://civis.eu/en/smartt)** Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/ut-logo-550-800x600.jpg?token=a3ff3e97efe2b5048dae4a8c8dfcc70d)The University of Tübingen is kicking off its 550th year at the start of the winter semester CIVIS Highlights 22 October 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/the-university-of-tubingen-is-kicking-off-its-550th-year-at-the-start-of-the-winter-semester) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/uam2-800x600.jpg?token=ed6985cf3f19e30c76ceab613191cc24)UAM pays tribute to the 1976 Festival de los Pueblos Ibéricos CIVIS Highlights 19 October 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/uam-pays-tribute-to-the-1976-festival-de-los-pueblos-ibericos) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/ub1_1-800x600.jpg?token=87d4cd16b1255c0ff21e85de351d0f31)The Restored Faculty of History Building Marks the Opening of the New Academic Year at the University of Bucharest CIVIS Highlights 15 October 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/the-restored-faculty-of-history-building-marks-the-opening-of-the-new-academic-year-at-the-university-of-bucharest) [ Discover all our stories ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) [ Birds on our campuses: biodiversity initiative creates new opportunities for collaboration and citizen science ](%20https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/birds-on-our-campuses-aix-marseille-universite-initiative-creates-new-opportunities-for-collaboration%20) [ University of Lausanne brings CIVIS membership to life with call for academic networking actions ](%20https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/university-of-lausanne-brings-civis-membership-to-life-with-call-for-academic-networking-actions%20) ![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).
