As the major forum for pan-European university decision making, as the platform for sharing university institutional best practices, as the ‘eyes and ears’ of higher education in Brussels, and as the voice of the sector in influencing public policy and opinion, EUA has the opportunity and responsibility to grow its impact. [...] Armed with persuasive evidence, we will: position the Association as the definitive expert body in Europe on the transformational role of universities in society, including the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), our responses to the European Green Deal and the part we play in innovation ecosystems. [...] promote to European leaders, both in the EU Institutions and at national level, the legislative, regulatory, funding, governance and structural reforms necessary to address Europe’s higher education and research needs and to create and optimise the environment for universities to be successful. [...] In order to fully involve them in activities, and to make use of their wealth of experience for the benefit of all members, we will invite NRCs to take on specific tasks on behalf of EUA, with the endorsement of the Board and in cooperation with the Secretariat. [...] At the same time as increasing the number of virtual events, we will review the formats of our physical meetings to ensure that they add real value to the work of our members and provide exceptional opportunities to forge relationships, to share knowledge and to debate policy.
