EULiST Workshop in Brno: Advancing the Roadmap for European Education

Strong alliances build stronger universities and create better opportunities for students across Europe. Embracing this spirit, the EULiST Alliance gathered approximately 40 colleagues for the Work Package 3 (WP3) Workshop, hosted by Brno University of Technology (BUT) on March 2 -3. The meeting reaffirmed that collaboration within the Alliance leads to concrete steps toward higher-quality and more accessible European education.

Strategic Vision and Common Values

Participants, joining both in person and online, explored the roadmap for 2026+, quality assurance initiatives, and strategic steps toward a European Joint Degree. Throughout the discussions, the Alliance reaffirmed its core values of equality, inclusiveness, diversity, and academic freedom.

“The workshop gave us a chance to design common solutions for excellent and more accessible education, strengthen support for students, increase the quality of study opportunities, and explore a common path towards the European Joint Degree,” reflected Tomáš Katrňák from BUT, leader of Task 3.5.

Synergy Across Work Packages

Alessandra Continenza from the University of L’Aquila, Leader of WP3, emphasized the importance of bringing together experts active in different tasks and work packages.

“Representatives debated overarching issues connecting the many activities within EULiST in a warm, comfortable, and collaborative atmosphere,” she commented, adding that the outcomes will guide the next actions to further strengthen the Alliance.

This notion was confirmed by Vítězslav Máša, Vice-Rector for Education and Quality at the host institution (BUT),  who would like to see the opportunities transformed into visible and tangible benefits. “Discussions during the workshop confirmed that the EULiST alliance has a strong team of active and experienced professionals in teaching and learning. I also appreciate the excellent preparation of the entire EULiST WP3 group meeting and thank my colleagues from BUT for their strong support during the event,” the vice-rector highlighted.

Building Stronger Connections

The EULiST Alliance sincerely thanks all participants for their active engagement and contribution to building stronger connections between our member universities. We look forward to seeing these collaborations grow and transform into tangible benefits for our students and staff in the coming months.
