2019 A crucial year for Europe and universities

2019 A crucial year for Europe and universities

Τhe EU will welcome a new leadership, face the final chapter of Brexit and set the rules for its new research and education programmes.

At the same time, new technologies, larger and more diverse student populations, constraints on academic freedom and new ways to learn and teach will have a strong impact on the longer-term opportunities and challenges at Europe’s universities.

In this New Year’s Message, EUA Secretary General Lesley Wilson outlines what is at stake in 2019 and what EUA is doing to support its members in such crucial times.
