Academic cooperation within Campus Europae
The academic year that is now ending has been a particularly busy one for Campus Europae. We held the first Luxembourg Forum on Human Rights and Higher Education, our ever-active Student Council is pedaling across Europe raising awareness for student mobility (see next article) and our various organs and workgroups have stepped up their efforts to provide our exchange students the best possible year abroad.
Our seven Subject Committees have been long been at the heart of the network, and it is hard to imagine how would Campus Europae look like without the commitment and support of the professors that compose them. All have been active throughout 2010/11, with 14 meetings held from September ’10 to July ‘11. Besides providing direct support and advice to the CE Movers the Subject Committees are also championing the development of ex-ante recognition pathways. By sorting out the equivalences across comparable study programmes prior to the exchange of students and making that information available online they enable the CE Movers to compose learning agreements which are more reliable and accurate. As of now such ex-ante recognition pathways are available for 14 academic subjects, six more than in 2009/2010. They are:
- Architecture
- Biochemistry
- Biology
- Computer engineering
- Education and Teacher Training
- Electronic and Electric engineering
- History
- History of Art
- Law
- Mechanical engineering
- Medicine
- Physics
- Political Sciences
- Tourism
The ex-ante academic recognition is one of Campus Europae unique features, and while ensuring that the information provided remains up to date even as curricula change and ongoing work on new subjects are important challenges in their own right, the subject committees are already thinking about new challenges and projects. As 2010/11 ends the next academic year is already looking to be a fruitful one in with respects advancing academic cooperation within Campus Europae!
