We are delighted to announce that CIFE has concluded a new partnership agreement with the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Spain’s largest public university and, in terms of the number of students, the largest university campus in Europe. Both institutions signed a General Cooperation Protocol this summer, based on their common interest to promote an exchange of scientific and cultural knowledge, and their desire to create and exploit synergies in academic work.

Concretely, CIFE and the Brussels campus of UNED plan to organise common activities such as expert briefings, workshops and roundtable discussions. We equally look forward to common teaching activities and new research impetus for both institutions. With UNED as our partner, the new Brussels trimester of the Applied European Policy and Governance Studies (EUGOV) Master will contribute to the truly applied nature of the programme. The partnership brings benefit for all involved – through more academic events, networking opportunities between students and experts, and an exchange of ideas on issues relating to higher education. In the long term, the framework agreement also offers opportunities for teacher and student exchanges and for the development of joint research projects.

We would like to thank Maria Casado, Director of the UNED Centre in Brussels, for her commitment to establishing this partnership. We look forward to working together and wish the partnership every success!
