European University Foundation - (former Campus Europae) is a European network which aims at the promotion of high quality student mobility and contributing to educate a generation of European graduates with an innate understanding of Europe’s unity in diversity.
The European University Foundation (EUF) is a European network of universities which stands for diversity and social fairness in higher education and aims to accelerate the modernisation of the European Higher Education Area. The network deploys intensive cooperation and policy experimentation under five key pillars:
(1) Quality mobility for all
(2) Digital Higher Education both for governance and the provision of education
(3) Entrepreneurship and employability skills of graduates
(4) Policy innovation at national and European level
(5) Active citizenship of students
The network's key activities are designed to build capacity and expertise among administrative and academic staff members, to raise awareness of EU policy goals and actions, and to enable policy dialogue between practitioners, policy-makers and stakeholders.
The activities are underpinned by a modern approach to high quality student mobility - as a driver to advance and intensify cooperation in higher education. The network supports member universities in setting up strategic partnerships, knowledge alliances and capacity building activities to achieve the goals set in each of the pillars.
