Deadline: 6-Oct-22
The European Commission (EC) is accepting proposals for Pilot institutionalised EU cooperation instruments to explore the feasibility for a possible European legal status for alliances of higher education institutions.
Scope
- Topic 2: Pilot institutionalised EU cooperation instruments to explore the feasibility for a possible European legal status for alliances of higher education institutions
- Higher education alliances could benefit, on a voluntary basis, from institutionalised cooperation instruments, such as a possible legal status for alliances of higher education institutions, for example ‘European Universities’, that enable them to share human, technical, data, education, research and innovation capacities, where appropriate. This call will allow them to test, on a voluntary basis, existing European instruments, such as the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) or the European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG).
