Fundraising for Universities: Exploring Options
17. -18. veljače 2006.
Tehničko sveučilište Istanbul, Turska
http://www.eua.be/eua/en/istanbul_workshop.jspx

While in the US and increasingly in the UK fund raising is part of life for university leaders it is not yet part of the culture in most continental European institutions. This is partly due to national legislation which does not fiscally or otherwise reward donations and similar financial transfers to educational institutions. It is also a matter of culture where universities have long been used to public funding and struggle to diversify their revenue through other channels.
In the usual case based format of the series this workshop will look at diverse forms of fundraising and its management taking the diverse European legal context into account. Participants would more specifically share experience on: How to develop an appropriate fundraising strategy; What are basic prerequisites for effective fund raising for an HEI; How to build a fundraising competence and culture in the institution.

EUA Funding Strong Universities: Diversification, Student Support and Good Governance
30. ožujka – 1. travnja 2006.
Sveučilište Hamburg, Njemačka
http://www.eua.be/eua/en/hamburg_conference.jspx

The EUA Glasgow Declaration 2005 underlines that adequate and sustainable funding is a prerequisite for securing universities’ future and with it, their capacity for promoting cultural, social and technological innovation. Europe cannot hope to be competitive if higher education and research budgets are not viewed as an investment in the future, and urgently increased.
The challenge of the coming years will be to find ways forward that ensure an equitable balance between, and mix of funds from public and private sources, including students, graduates and their families. In plenary sessions, working groups and round tables the Conference will address the multiple aspects of innovating university funding, mainly: The impact of tuition fees and related student aid schemes; The diversification of funding sources and the potential of private public partnerships; The institutional requirements of transparency and accountability for managing increasingly diverse funding sources.
The conference is of particular interest to Rectors, Vice-rectors, Heads of Administration, Directors of Finance, Heads of funding agencies and ministerial departments dealing with funding issues.
