Strong strategies for competitive universities

Europe's competitiveness lies in its capacity to innovate and transfer knowledge to society for economic growth. More than ever before the triangle of Education, Research and Innovation is crucial. Higher Education institutions know they have a crucial role to play in the new EU 2020 strategy set by the European Union.

The richness of European Higher Education lies in the diversity of its HEIs, but to support the major challenges, European universities must modernize their governance, management and modes of operation. The increasing competition in the Higher Education sector demands growing levels of quality, leadership and professionalisation.

Building on more than 20 years, ESMU:

- promotes the strategic developments in European universities

- develops European networks on Higher Education Management

- encourages a learning environment on good management practices through conferences, seminars and training programmes in wide European networks of professionals

- offers benchmarking exercises to support universities with increased institutional performance

- supports universities with their strategic profiling

ESMU's strong European values, drive for continuous improvement and constant exploration of new areas to promote excellence in universities are at the core of all its activities.
