From the article:

This week the European Commission published three policy communications with direct relevance for universities: one on the European Education Area, one on the European Research Area and one on a Digital Education Action Plan. A policy report, Towards a 2030 Vision on the Future of Universities in Europe, is to be released shortly. Earlier this summer, the commission published an equally interesting communication on a new European Skills Agenda. Excellence, sovereignty and inclusion figure prominently in these texts. So how does mobility fit into this agenda in a post-pandemic world?
