In a joint statement on 29 September, all of the 41 alliances that had been funded as of March 2022 reiterated a sentiment that they expressed then, that their funding should have a “clear vision for a long-term and holistic financial sustainable future”.
Go beyond projects
According to the alliances, sustainable funding is needed to “enable the EUI to go beyond a short-term project approach and deliver on [the] long-term, innovative and ambitious vision of future-proof European universities”.
In its own statement, the European Consortium of Innovative Universities alliance said the investment pathway should consider all of the functions and structures involved in creating an EUI alliance, including infrastructures, management structures, and governing and advisory bodies.
