Notes: The EUA's notes on the convention: "Building on the Glasgow Convention and Declaration (2005) in which EUA highlighted the importance of strong, autonomous and accountable universities if the ambitious policy goals set for Europe are to be met, the Convention in Lisbon will be the opportunity for European university leaders and partners to take stock of progress made since then and articulate their own vision for the future beyond 2010. The focus of the convention will not only be on major issues facing universities from a European perspective but also on balancing cooperation and competition internationally, thus reflecting both latest developments in the Bologna Process and at EU level, as demonstrated, for example, by the launch of the European Research Council and the proposal to establish a European Institute of Technology"
