INGENIUM European Campus

The setting up and the organisation of the INGENIUM European Campus (IEC) is one of the primary objectives for our Alliance and one of the key actions proposed in our Mission Statement. We are aiming for an open university that allows students from all partner institutions access to the teaching and research opportunities offered by each of them.

The IEC main features, in line with the initiative indications and specific objectives are:

• Offering enhanced mobility opportunities to students, who will be able to spend at least a third of their study periods in INGENIUM programmes in mobility, including virtual mobility.
• Run by a INGENIUM joint faculty composed of staff from all the partner universities, who cooperate in the development of joint study programmes, with cross-sectoral approach and innovative teaching methodologies.
• Based on an open degree structure, to allow the configuration of flexible and multidisciplinary curricula in which mobility is seamlessly integrated.
• Applying joint Quality Assurance systems leading to System Accreditation according to the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area, becoming ready to implement European Degrees, as soon as the appropriate national regulations are in place.
• Implementing the full and automatic recognition of study periods carried out in any of the universities.
• Under a single management system, including a dedicated staff, harmonised academic calendar, registration procedures and automatic transmission of academic and administrative data in mobility.
• Supported by appropriate financial arrangements to ensure a fair distribution of costs and funding for all campuses, study programmes and research activities.
