Promotional image for the report: "Universities and competitiveness: A big picture view on the EU's new policy paradigm and the implications for universities" by Anna-Lena Claeys-Kulik, Thomas E. Jørgensen, and Liliya Kukuruzka, published by the European University Association. The background is blue with white text.
