Brussels, 20/02/2012 (Agence Europe) - The European Universities Association (EUA) has launched an interactive online tool which enables users to view and compare comprehensive data on university autonomy in 26 European countries. The website http://www.university-autonomy.eu provides a wide range of detailed information on the current state of university autonomy in Europe by means of interactive visualisations that cover four broad autonomy dimensions (organisational, financial, human resources management and academic) and 38 autonomy indicators. Users are able to study their own higher education system and compare it with others. By clicking on a specific country (flag), they will be presented with an 'at a glance' system profile and data on each autonomy indicator for that country. Users can also view autonomy rankings, based on scores that were calculated for each higher education system and autonomy dimension. (IL/transl.rt)
