- Identify good practice of renewal of education, especially in areas of common interest such as sustainable development and lifelong learning
- Strengthen the understanding of how strategic renewal of education is driven in a collegial setting and of mechanisms that support collective leadership and accountability
- Strengthen strategic and academic connections between the participating universities
- Provide input for policy development on a national level (regarding the legal and financial instruments) for the renewal of education and academic leadership
