The Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) and CMEPIUS - Slovenian National Agency for European Community Programmes and International Mobility Programmes are conducting a small-scale study on national-level support to the European Universities initiative (EUI), particularly to national higher education institutions participating in the European Universities alliances.  

The aim of the study is:  

1. To explore the needs of higher education institutions participating in the EUI and support needed on a national level (i.e. which, for example, could be offered by respective National Agencies for Erasmus+ or other national funding agencies) 
   
   
2. To provide an update on the broad range of prior and ongoing support activities conducted by National Agencies for Erasmus+ or other national funding agencies to date, in complementarity with the support offered at the EU level 
   
   
3. To identify areas for closer cooperation between European Universities alliances, their members, and their respective National Agencies for Erasmus+ or other national funding agencies, and 
   
   
4. To explore areas for closer cooperation between National Agencies for Erasmus+ in jointly supporting alliances involving higher education institutions from their respective countries. 

Two questionnaires have been developed and launched - one for National Agencies and one for staff of higher education institutions participating in the EUI - in order to gather feedback on the aforementioned points.
The deadline to complete the questionnaires has been extended to Friday 9  May 2025. 

The questionnaire for National Agencies can be accessed here.
The questionnaire for staff of higher education institutions can be accessed here.

Data protection: There is the option to fill out the questionnaires anonymously and to only share the name of your institution and country. The data will be stored by ACA for one year after the completion of the report, and then it will be deleted. The data will not be shared beyond the project partners. You may withdraw from the study at any point by writing to the Secretariat: secretariat@aca-secretariat.be.
