EUTOPIA welcomes two new Global Partners
As a consortium of Higher Education institutions open to the world, EUTOPIA benefits from coworking with universities beyond Europe: Monash University (Australia), Université Internationale de Rabat (Morocco), Stellenbosch University (South Africa) and Kyungpook National University (South Korea).
We are delighted to announce that this group is now reinforced by two prominent institutions: Arizona State University and Universidad de los Andes.
EUTOPIA recognises that European universities’ ambitions to confront the global challenges of an integrated world cannot cease at our frontiers. Our work to develop the European Higher Education Area and a model for cross-border integration between universities is relevant to all continents. With the participation of Arizona State University and Universidad de los Andes, the Alliance gains valuable like-minded partners in North and South America
