Good summary on the potential and challenges of the #EuropeanDegree: it could simplify joint programmes and foster, but needs clear definition, proper funding, and broad support to succeed 👇
3…2…1… sessions start!
Yann-Mael Bideau and Camille Odet from @ec.europa.eu introduce the concept of the #EuropeanDegree to our volunteers, engaging in discussion on how to genuinely build an inclusive and accessible joint programme. 💡
What have we in #Una_Europa learned from creating 2️⃣ joint Bachelor's programmes?
Quality assurance is complex & simplification is needed.
Happy to share my opinion piece in #ResearchEurope on quality assurance of #JointDegrees for the #EuropeanDegree: www.researchprofessional.com/0/rr/news/eu...

All good, but we have seen how difficult it is for the EU do coordinate here - the #EuropeanUniversityInitiative and a #EuropeanDegree will not solve the challenge
Four students talking and laughing together. Text says towards a European Degree, building the European education area.
Can you imagine studying at different universities and having your degree automatically recognised throughout the 🇪🇺?
