That is why European universities aim to promote common European values and strengthen European identity by bringing together a new generation of Europeans, able to work together in different European and global cultures, in different languages, sectors, academic disciplines or abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another aim is to make progress in the quality, performance, attractiveness and international competitiveness of European Higher Education institutions. The contribution to the European knowledge economy, labor market, culture, civic awareness and social security through the use of modern pedagogical approaches is also important. European universities will be the main incentives to improve the quality of higher education and, where possible, to strengthen its links with research, innovation and innovation structures in Europe, with an impact on society and the economy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column30813_7abe24-30 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column30813_7abe24-30 >
