STARS EU European University is growing and this is a great opportunity to connect and exchange ideas, experiences and approaches regarding impact and effectiveness, collaboration and integration, innovation and transformation, as well as future directions of the EUI”, says STARS EU Project Evaluator Alexandra Hashem-Wangler from the alliance’ German partner Hochschule Bremen, City University of Applied Sciences.
