How do universities build #sustainable funding strategies? For @uniworldnews.bsky.social, Andrea Silvestri reflects on this year’s conference of #EUA2025AC in Latvia, themed ‘Connecting the dots on sustainability and resilience’. www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?sto...
#Sustainability isn’t a side project—it must be woven into the fabric of universities through strategy, resources and mission-driven action, writes Julia Ayuso for @uniworldnews.bsky.social following her recent participation in our annual conference in Latvia #EUA2025AC
They took the bold decision to join efforts and create a single representative body in Europe for universities and their national associations.
Congratulations and thank you!

Today in Riga, at the #EUA2025AC, I had the pleasure to meet Prof. Jānis Vētra.
In 2001, on behalf of the Latvian Rectors’ Council he was one of the founders of the @eua.eu in Salamanca (Spain). (1/2)
Yesterday during the first plenary session, Daniella Tilbury asked us to consider whether #universities want to be mirrors or lighthouses.
Being lighthouses is our only choice!

"Mobility brings added value to values, like participation in democratic society." Stephan Geifes @daadworldwide.bsky.social with one of the session's takeaways #EUA2025AC
"We keep talking about increasing budgets and resources. Nobody is in favour of bureaucratic obstructions. But how do we become more efficient, with e.g. 3 academic calendars across Europe?" Audience Q&A at the last #EUA2025AC plenary
"17 million people have been mobile through #ErasmusPlus, nearly 1 milllion came to German HEIs, resulting into a positive economic, skills & talent impact. My message to you is to fight for a big Erasmus+ budget." Stephan Geifes @daadworldwide.bsky.social #EUA2025AC
"We need to look into not just brain drain but also brain circulation - and also the right of researchers to remain where they are, by having the support systems needed for broader skills development and research, broad funding instruments to be harmonised" Anu Noorma #EUA2025AC
"Institutional cooperation is not a goal in itself... The model of change by exchange is a powerful strategy thta can be adapted to foster the growth of Europe economically and as a society." @daadworldwide.bsky.social

"When we talk about #competitiveness, the reality is that we need an ecosystem that translated ideas into products produced, distrbiuted in markets, jobs & income. Universities are integral to this ecosystem at every level in research, skills" Colm O’Reardon @deptoffhed.bsky.social #EUA2025AC

"In the last 15 years we did a lot for early-career researchers, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done." Manuela Raith #EUA2025AC
"Collaboration happens when you have a feeling on fairness. Fairness is reflected in how people are rewarded, in how they feel safe in the environment they are in. Flexibility, psychological support are also important." Gundars Bērziņš #EUA2025AC #EduSky #AcademicChat #EduChat
"Universities have to provide an impact-based project environment in which people are welcome and collaborate extensively, without silos." Gundars Bērziņš #EUA2025AC
