The sustainability of the European Universities Initiative depends on coherent funding mechanisms and legislative or administrative adaptations by the participating countries. This poster session will look at how national and regional authorities are supporting alliances, focusing on funding and joint programmes. It will draw on the midterm results of the EU-funded Future4Alliances project, which brings together public bodies to create a favourable environment for the development of alliances.
