ERUA is built on our common ambition to develop a new kind of collaboration, which not only connects universities within Europe, but also reimagines the critical and inventive role of European universities in a global context. As reform universities, we share a tradition of innovative pedagogy, an interdisciplinary and disruptive out of the box mindset, which makes us ideally suited to develop an experimental approach. We will develop an original interdisciplinary ecosystem, thanks to our strength in SSH and Arts and our connections to the Natural Sciences, Computer Sciences and Engineering.To achieve our ambition, we will focus on six key areas during the first three years:* Reimagining Higher Education and Research: we will create a common infrastructure to nurture new experiments and develop new formats for research in the SHS and scale up existing competences;* Reimagining learning pathways: we will develop a common approach to education based on project and experience-based learning. Students will design their own learning pathways and apply for European diplomas supplement, double degrees, and European diploma.* Reimagining Community: We will create an inclusive community, open to diversity and multilinguism that offer opportunities for each and every one of our - 68 400 students to follow part of his or her curriculum in one or more countries- 5 700 staff to develop their professional skills and network.* Reimagining Campus: we will propose a concept to enable a blended integration of our campuses, combining digital learning environments with physical mobility and a visible presence of ERUA within each members’ campus life* Build a flexible and participatory management structure and * Make ERUA sustainable and visible.These common goals will enable us to setup a new paradigm in which the activities of individual institutions are built around a common framework across all our areas of activity.
