Tempus Public Foundation had the pleasure of hosting the Informal NA meeting on European University Alliances in Budapest (12-13 May) within the framework of the SPREAD EUI project. The event brought together colleagues from across Europe engaged in supporting the European Universities Initiative. 

The two-day meeting provided an excellent opportunity for National Agencies to exchange experiences and reflect on the diverse roles and activities undertaken at national level to support not only European University Alliances, but all higher education institutions. Particular attention was given to how the developments and results emerging from these inter-university collaborations can be more effectively disseminated across the broader higher education sector in Europe. 

The programme featured presentations and discussions on impact and interoperability. Besides NA representatives, ACA and FOREU4ALL were also present. Participants shared valuable perspectives, good practice examples and policy insights that contribute to strengthening the long-term transformative potential of the initiative.
