本章探讨了欧洲大学倡议（EUI）的起源，理论基础和设计，一个新的计划，以创建一系列的多边大学联盟。创建一所超国家大学的想法可以追溯到20世纪40年代末欧洲政治项目的开始，但尽管做出了各种努力，这一雄心仍然没有实现。本章将EUI置于这场长期辩论中，并重点关注法国总统马克龙2017年索邦大学演讲后的时期，该演讲倡导建立一个新的大学网络。这为重新点燃超国家大学辩论提供了动力，并随后导致启动了EUI试点阶段。这一章解释了为什么EUI在过去70年欧洲大学的尝试停滞不前的地方取得了成功。分析发现，EUI是一种新的形式的联盟形成，可以被看作是一个“网络的网络”。考虑到EUI的设计，联盟如何有潜力产生协作优势，为他们的成员被认为是，这也确定了一些挑战，摆在面前的计划。
This chapter explores the origins, rationales and design of the European Universities Initiative (EUI), a new scheme to create a series of multilateral university alliances. The idea of creating a supranational university can be traced back to the beginnings of the European political project in the late 1940s, but despite various endeavours, this ambition remained unfulfilled. The chapter places the EUI within this long-running debate and focuses on the period following French President Macron’s 2017 Sorbonne speech which advocated a new network of universities. This provided the impetus to reignite the supranational university debate and subsequently resulted in the launch of the EUI pilot phase. The chapter explains why the EUI succeeded where previous attempts at a European university over the preceding 70 years had stalled. The analysis finds the EUI to be a novel form of alliance formation which can be viewed as a ‘network of networks’. Considering the design of the EUI, how the alliances have the potential to generate collaborative advantage for their members is considered, which also identifies some of the challenges that lie ahead for the scheme.
