This meeting was organized by the EUA project Universities for Strategic, Efficient and Autonomous Management (USTREAM). The purpose of this project is to examine the measures that are applied at European universities in order to increase operational efficiency at the strategic level, focusing on three different areas: professional, operational and societal support aspects; academic issues; and strategic management. This project also analyzes operational policies at a systematic level, which determines the efficiency of universities, improves practice and helps to formulate recommendations for policy makers.
