ED-AFFICHE presents the findings from the questionnaire which has gathered insights from joint programme directors and coordinators. This questionnaire captures their perspectives on the European degree label, associated criteria, and their views on possible barriers to joint degrees within their respective countries. Additional interviews were conducted through focus groups organized by each country.
Respondents and participants in focus groups were academic directors, coordinators of joint programmes, administrative staff with potential and legal experts that have discussed about ED-AFFICHE's analysis of obstacles to transnational collaboration.
ED-AFFICHE wants to offer a comprehensive overview of the application of proposed criteria associated with the European Degree label in existing joint programmes. It sheds light on perceived obstacles hindering increased collaboration among universities. Furthermore, it provides recommendations to incentivize programme directors and coordinators to pursue the European Degree label or find motivation in it to forge new collaborations.
