EUA Conference on the Governance of European Universities post 2010 – part I

On the basis of key-note presentations and case studies from across Europe, the goals of the Wroclaw Conference were to:
– Discuss the rapidly changing relationship between universities and the state and the impact of these changes on institutional governance;
– Investigate strategies for optimising institutional autonomy and ensuring accountability taking account of the overall European policy context and the ‘modernisation agenda’ for universities;
– Identify ways in which university leaders can enhance their steering capacity using examples of good practice from across Europe.
