Session led by University of Mons, representing EUNICE European University, and KU Leuven, on behalf of Una Europa<\/span><\/p>\n

To support the development of a strong European Education Area, the European Commission financed six projects to examine, test and facilitate the delivery of a joint European Degree label for international programmes<\/strong> developed through intensive cross-border collaboration of European higher education institutions.<\/p>\n

This session will reflect on the results of these projects and consider them from a forward looking broader perspective. Representatives of different stakeholder groups will discuss the European Degree in light of the desired future for European higher education and consider the added value of a label versus a degree from a global perspective.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”3″ divider_color=”extra-color-gradient-2″ divider_opacity=”49″ animate=”yes”][vc_column_text text_direction=”default” css=”.vc_custom_1708530106851{padding: 5% !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}”]Panel discussion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
