Europe is almost 5,000 university institutions that together accommodate 17.5 million students, 1.35 million teachers and 1.17 million researchers. The European university formation is to be designed by 2030 in such a way that 45% of 25 to 34-year-olds in the EU have a university degree. To achieve this, numerous initiatives and strategic goals are necessary. According to the Information offers from the EU have been defined as part of a European university strategy.
