‘Bridge-building’ will require ‘critical reflection’ from European universities, group says
European universities must work more closely with each other and with research-performing organisations globally if they are to help solve worldwide problems, the Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities has said in a vision paper for the next ten years.
“As global transformations, including those brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, change the geopolitical influence of nations and universities within them, universities in Europe should act as bridge-builders with their global partners to ensure that ideas fostered through research and education can flow across borders,” the Guild said.
