In this seventh episode of the Una Europa podcast, two experts on the European Degree invite us to take part in the exciting process of shaping this innovative transnational program format. Sharing their knowledge and front-row experience, our two invited speakers draw from the distinct viewpoints of their respective European University Alliances as they discuss their most pressing challenges and explain how the European Degree is different from other existing joint degrees.

Our invited speakers offer the perspectives of two different European University Alliances. Kurt Willems is Chair of the Una Europa Working Group on the European Degree, and Mirko Varano works at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, which is a member of the European University Network UNITE! Moderated by Una Europa Policy Officer Sophia Karner, Kurt and Mirko provide a compelling argument for the desire and need for joint degree programs that give students the freedom to decide what, where and when to study so that they can fully realize their ambitions.
