Professor Peter Mathieson, Principal and Vice-Chancellor shares his thoughts on Una Europa. Image It is such a privilege for the University of Edinburgh to be a member of Una Europa, an alliance which offers us European collaboration on a scale we could not achieve alone. Within this report you’ll read about what we’ve achieved together the past three years and what could be achieved over the next four years. Working together with ten of Europe’s best research universities we educate over half a million students aided by almost 100,000 staff across 11 countries. Along with the impressive size of the alliance, the breadth and depth of the activity we undertake together is just as astounding. Within this report you’ll read about what we’ve achieved together over the past three years across Una Europa’s focus areas which allow us to work together, developing truly innovative and high-quality joint educational and mobility programmes preparing our students to meet the challenges of their future. The opportunities for staff and students are many: mobility and co-creation of courses, joint degrees, and impactful research collaborations. Each one brings us closer than ever to our European neighbours in this ambitious undertaking to share the best of our cultures, values, campuses, resources, and infrastructure, and ultimately together create the European University of the Future. - Professor Peter Mathieson, Principal and Vice-Chancellor This article was published on 2024-06-24
