Universities Implementing Full Costing

4 February 2011, University Foundation, Belgium. To become financially sustainable, universities need to be able to identify the full costs of all their activities. EUA’s continuing work on full costing is now taken up by the EUIMA – Full Costing project (“European Universities Implementing the Modernisation Agenda”), which will organise a series of events around Europe, one of which is the country workshop in Belgium.
The workshop will bring together international experts to work with the leadership and management of Belgian universities, as well as with responsible federal and regional government bodies and funding agencies. The aim of the workshop is to contribute to the development of a coordinated approach to the implementation of full costing among Belgian universities in both communities, and to discuss strategic issues such as how to ensure external support to the project. The workshop will also strive to define a roadmap for the implementation of full costing in Belgium, inviting interested institutions to join the follow-up activities.
The format of the workshop will be very practical and will draw on examples of best practice in the implementation of full costing in Europe which will be carefully selected to suit the specific needs and conditions in Belgium. It will provide a forum for debate, giving participants the opportunity to discuss the framework conditions needed to implement full costing in Belgian universities and to establish a network for cooperation between institutions.
Audience
This country workshop is aimed exclusively at the national audience in the host country. The event should be of interest to institutional leaders and managers such as rectors, vice rectors, heads of administration and heads of finance departments as well as other interested members of the university community.
