The second phase of the European University of the Seas SEA-EU kicks off at the UCA 10 February 2023
The rector of the University of Cadiz, Francisco Piniella, accompanied by the General Coordinator of the SEA-EU, Fidel Echevarría, today presided over the institutional act of welcome for the rectors and/or government teams of the nine partner universities of the European University of the Seas SEA-EU in the Salón de Grados of the Faculty of Medicine of Cadiz. The UCA, as the coordinating university of this European alliance, is holding the kick-off meeting of the second phase of the alliance, called SEA-EU FOR ALL, where the technical, executive and government committees are meeting these days with the attendance of their top representatives, project leaders, teams and students.
SEA-EU is made up of the universities of Cadiz, Western Brittany (France), Kiel (Germany), Gdansk (Poland), Split (Croatia) and Malta, joined in this second phase by Naples Parthenope (Italy), Algarve (Portugal) and Nord (Norway). The proposal submitted by SEA-EU to the European Commission last June achieved the requested renewal and has considerably increased its budget, with a budget for the next four years of 14.4 million euros (three times the amount obtained three years ago). SEA-EU FOR ALL, within the framework of the European Universities Initiative (EUI) of the Erasmus + programme, will work over the coming years to advance in the definition of the legal status of the consortium with a view to achieving it by 2026, in the definition and accreditation of joint degrees, in improving multilingualism, as well as strengthening mobility and exchanges of staff, students and teaching and research transfer, among others.
