STATUS
• A multilateral agreement between member institutions
• The coordinating institution acts as the legal entity when so
required
OBJECTIVES
• A network for University Governance, Management and
Administration
• In addition, a platform to new ideas, contacts and projects
MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA
• The right to award Doctorates
• Membership of the national rector’s conference
and/or European University Association (EUA)

consisted of universities which had bilateral and other
links between them. Established networks and
bilateral links will be taken into consideration also in
the future.

Members should geographically come primarily from
the Baltic Sea drainage area. Co-operation is
enhanced with NUAS (Nordic countries) and EAIR and
