The Arqus European University Alliance firmly believes in the need to foster student-centred and research-based learning through joint and flexible curricula. This implies the development of joint interdisciplinary programs with open entry points for other partners to join at any time.
To open up an opportunity to establish new perspective of joint programmes evaluation and accreditation the Arqus Alliance organizes a series of events for administrative and academic staff members, representatives of ministries and accreditation agencies. Having a joint discussion could lead to a great change!
