Michael Gaebel
The European University Association (EUA) represents 33 national university associations (rectors’ conferences) and more than 800 universities from all over Europe. When Michael first joined EUA in 2006, he was in charge of developing EUA’s international strategy and global exchange and cooperation. Currently, he is the Director of the Higher Education Policy Unit at the European University Association (EUA). The Unit focuses on issues related to higher education reforms in the area of learning and teaching, including the Bologna Process, lifelong learning, internationalisation and global dialogue. For the last 3-4 years, (EUA) has been monitoring the take up of e-learning and MOOCs at European universities, and the impact that this has rendered. Results have been published in a survey report on e-learning at European universities and also in two occasional papers on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). In addition, the recent EUA TRENDS Report 2015 asked some questions on the issues.
