The alliance signed in Mons (Belgium) its founding statutes as an international association before a notary
EUNICE European University officially became an institution upon the signing of its founding statutes before a notary. This event took place at the University of Mons (Belgium) last Wednesday, 16th November.
Thus, the legal form of the alliance will be, from now on, an international non-profit association -AISBL, abbreviated in French-.
Philippe Dubois, current Rector of the University of Mons, will be the First President of the AISBL and Abdelhakim Artiba -President of the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France-, its Vice-President.
This means a step forward as an alliance, given the fact that it will no longer be only a European project but also an international organisation.
EUNICE staff also took advantage for this face-to-face meeting in Mons to work on the future organisation of the alliance, as the upcoming second phase of the project will involve 10 partners. The three new partners are the University of Peloponnese (Greece), the Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (Portugal) and University of Karlstad (Sweden).
