European universities diversifying income streams

EUA Brussels reception to launch new study on ‘European universities diversifying income streams’ (22 February 18h-20h30)
On the evening of 22 February 2011, EUA will organise a reception in Brussels to present its major new study on ‘European universities diversifying income streams’. As part of EUA’s series 'Towards financially sustainable universities', this report will provide an overview of the status of income diversification in European universities. It also identifies the conditions and success factors needed to implement income diversification strategies that help sustain the academic mission of higher education institutions.
The event will feature keynote speeches by Professor Maria da Graça Carvalho, Member of the European Parliament, and Mr Jordi Curell, Director at the European Commission’s Directorate General for Education and Culture, who will share their institutions’ views on university funding. The conclusions of the study (the outcome of the EC-supported EUDIS project) will then be presented by EUA's Thomas Estermann, author of the report. The event will be hosted by the Representation of the Free State of Bavaria to the European Union. See also Towards Financially Sustainable Universities II: Diversifying Income Streams.
