The aim is to develop common curricula, a research and innovation agenda, services in both research and student exchange and ultimately a European University which will be able to confer degrees jointly with FilmEU alliance universities.
FilmEU and FilmEU+’ ‘cosmos’ have a number of related accompanying and supporting projects and activities. These include a FilmEU toolkit to support and explain cooperation between universities, a FilmEU quality label for curricula through Etiketa, also FilmEU projects to support innovation and knowledge transfer and C-Accelerate to collaboratively develop entrepreneurship in the creative industries. A joint master’s programme KinoEyes in Filmmaking is already operational.
FilmEU is a European university Alliance and association that aims to promote and develop excellence in education, innovation and research in the multidisciplinary field of film and media arts and strengthen Europe’s role as a world-leading centre for culture and creative industries. The Alliance is a network of universities, and includes Lusófona University (Portugal), LUCA School of Arts (Belgium), The Dún Laoghaire Institute of Arts, Design and Technology (IADT, Ireland) and Tallinn University. The FilmEU+ project will expand the FilmEU Alliance from the existing four partners to now include: VSMU Academy of Performing Arts (Slovakia), LMTA or Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (Lithuania), VIA University College (Denmark) and NAFTA or the National Academy of Theatre and Film Arts (Bulgaria).
