Abstract	"European challenges are extremely demanding on the university. The nature of social changes and the paramount combination of interweaving international factors represent a threat to monolithic structures of the past. Moreover, stringent public policies impinging on mounting pressure to curb public expenditures and budget deficits run counter to the mainstream democratization thrusts in higher education. Never before have universities in Europe undergone such pressure to adapt to changing conditions and to reach out for new institutional responses. Suitable institutional arrangements - ranging from extensive and painful reforms spreading from management to finance and involving curriculum reform as well as teaching methods - must be envisaged." "Europe needs universities devoted to the challenge of global mobility, understood to be a potent engine of modern education. It is basic that the future university graduate and European citizen is trained to grasp professional mobility and cross-cultural interfaces as a daily challenge, quite apart from their role as a major cultural, social and economic production factor. ERASMUS, COMETT, LINGUA, TEMPUS, ESPRIT, and so many other successful community-supported exchange programmes are only a first attempt towards this ambitious goal. At present, only a limited proportion of European university students can benefit from such programmes, well short of the 10 per cent target envisaged at the outset, in spite of the exponential growth of European networks."
