Ten new Universities from Europe, Asia Minor, Central and South America have joined MyUniversity project’s Super Portal in the last few months since its launch, thus broadening

Danube University Krems (Austria) With a current total of 24 Universities participating in the project’s Super Portal, the online academic community – students, staff and professors - has been significantly enlarged and the core objectives of the project for a more unified Higher Education and active participation in decision-making are being reached. The list of Universities that have expressed their interest to become a part of this community is expanding and the Consortium of MyUniversity project is anticipating a growing number of institutions in the platform in the upcoming months.

MyUniversity-project started on October 1

can use an array of specific e-Participation tools for involving university members and stakeholders in transparent higher education decision-making processes at local, national and EU level.
