Signing a memorandum of understanding with the new partner ParisTech

The five universities reaffirmed their commitment to intensive strategic cooperation striving for structural exchange of ideas and expertise, actively promoting the development of joint activities, in particular with respect to internationalisation of education, common research-interests, and other strategic policy-issues. The joint memorandum of understanding was signed at the IDEA heads meeting on 27 March in Zürich, see photo.

The aim of the network is to achieve a leading position among European universities through high-level research, academic training and innovation. The representatives of the IDEA League will meet each year at the general assembly to assess the results of the various projects and set out the guidelines for continuing cooperation.
