Eight universities from three European Universities Alliances (YUFE, ECIU and EPICUR) have partnered in piloting an innovative approach to the European degree label through the FOCI (Future-proof Criteria for Innovative European Education) project.
The vision for education that unites YUFE, ECIU and EPICUR is manifested in FOCI’s goals to work with stakeholders, pilot first results and issue policy recommendations as concrete tools for advancing the development of the European degree label. In order to generate specific evidence for the added value of a European Degree (label), the FOCI project includes amongst its key activities the piloting of the European Degree label criteria, stakeholder needs analysis and analysis of relevant regulatory obstacles which need to be addressed at national and European level in order for the European Degree to become a reality in the near future.
