Expert Working Groups

Academic Staff

Do you have a research idea but need support?

Your idea might be related to academic life, research, administrative issues, sharing best practices or a new initiative. IDEA League can link you to the right people at our partner universities to start multidisciplinary, cross-border collaboration. Our Expert Working Groups deal with various topics, such as how we can more efficiently share our extensive research infrastructures and reduce red tape and how we can lower barriers, enabling students to embark on courses at our member universities with seamless credit mobility. The groups also explore strategies for sharing knowledge effectively and for engaging with wider European society by providing insights into how technology is driving the future. To join, you must be affiliated with one of the IDEA League partner universities.
