Delighted that Ivana Didak is now Head of Higher Education, and Julien Chicot is our new Head of Research and Innovation in The Guild. They will reinforce Ole Petter Ottersen fantastic leadership with energy, commitment and insight!

Agreed: ‘If the commission aims for 20 per cent cross-border mobility for all university students, including 50 per cent within European University Alliances, embedded mobility would need to become core to our student offer’ Times Higher Education 👉 timeshighereducation.com/blog/europes-m…

In 2017 Sarika Wilson persuaded me that titling a policy paper with a quote from Goethe was really not a good idea. As she leaves to University of Helsinki I am full of memories of the many fantastic contributions she made to The Guild, and how much I've learned from her. Paljon kiitoksia!

Macron’s endorsement is critical. Now we must all reinforce this in our national contexts, and use the momentum through and beyond the European elections!

Today's respective election of two new rectors by Uniwersytet Jagielloński and UCLouvain, which are each key members of Coimbra Group and The Guild, is a good moment to reflect how our networks have been shaped by our inspirational members - and how our common members connect us!

Congratulations to Piotr Jedynak on becoming Rector of one of 🇪🇺most prestigious universities (+The Guild founding member), bringing with him an outstanding academic reputation + rich experience of academic citizenship: at The Guild we look forward to working with him!

Many congratulations Françoise Smets on your election as next rector of UCLouvain: We The Guild look forward to working with you when you take up office, at a critical time for🇪🇺as we prepare for the next EU Framework Programme in R&I, and Erasmus+! Anders Hagfeldt Anton Muscatelli

What an amazing wrap-up of The Guild #SSAH Deans meeting University of Glasgow!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🇪🇺 Pedro Serrano joined us & highlighted the importance of UK reassoc. to HEU & how the knowledge from SSAH research makes us collectively stronger.

Swiss partners must follow suit in reassoc. process🤝

There are some really nice days behind. We were hosts to a large delegation from ⁦University of Warwick⁩ . Great colleagues, good vibes, fruitful discussions ⁦Babeș-Bolyai University (UBB)⁩ about further collaborations within ⁦EUTOPIA⁩ and ⁦The Guild⁩

Fantastic- we must use the momentum here & in the wider sector to push for UK Association to FP10 AND to Erasmus+. Great, too, that freedom of movement for under-30s between 🇪🇺 + 🇬🇧 is back on the table, including students paying domestic fees in universities! Anton Muscatelli

From The Guild foundation (then as Rector and Chair), the Acting Secretary-General, Ole Petter Ottersen, has emphasised the urgency of SSAH research. Fantastic that Ole Petter is University of Glasgow. Policy-makers should listen to this distinguished medical researcher! #TeamUofG

Anton has been a key driver in the foundation of The Guild; his insight and counsel have been seminal. He's embodied #TeamUofG 's natural place in Europe: one of the ways in which he's made his mark in 🇬🇧 Higher Ed. I look forward to continuing our 🇪🇺work for the next 18 months!

We had the chance to interview Prof. Leon Mutesa a few days ago in #Kigali University of Rwanda! His list of scientific achievements is truly remarkable! Follow us! his interview will be part of our new podcast series produced with Patricia Teixidor

Many congratulations - but we will miss Maria Graça Carvalho in 🇪🇺, as a stalwart advocate for investment in European research and innovation. Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 would have looked quite different without Prof. Graça’s careful, insightful & attentive leadership! Thank you!

Taking time to meet and reflect together is so precious - and essential for partnerships to be truly strategic!

Just out: University of Glasgow External Relations newsletter, devoted entirely to the strategic partnership with Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, based on over a decade of listening to each other, understanding each other, and working together. So inspiring! #TeamUofG Iain B. McInnes
