“We are very pleased to join the ATHENA. This partnership enables us to join forces and work together on forward-looking education and research projects,” said FH Carinthia rector, Peter Granig during the event. “Another advantage is that our students now have the opportunity to study at renowned universities such as Siegen and Orléans. The acceptance is a recognition of our strong performance in practice-oriented teaching and research,” added rector Peter Granig.
Konstantinos Pedridis, Secretary General of the ATHENA Alliance, emphasized the importance of the European Universities Initiative for the future of higher education: “European universities are transnational alliances that point the way to the universities of the future, promote European values and identity, enhance quality and competitiveness. It will revolutionize higher education. It is one of the most important projects of the European Commission in higher education and has been supported as part of the European Education Area since 2019.”
The Carinthia University of Applied Sciences is looking forward to making a contribution to this initiative through its cooperation with ATHENA and to promoting the European idea in the field of education.
