On 5 December 2019 The Guild Forum on the European Universities Initiative offered an opportunity to consider the academic priorities and challenges presented by European Universities. The discussion came at a critical moment, when the first European Universities kicked off their activities, the second pilot call had been published, and when policymakers began turning their minds to the full implementation phase in the next Erasmus+ programme.

During a recent visit to the University of Bern (UniBern), Jan Palmowski and Rector Christian Leumann toured the site of UniBern's groundbreaking new centre for translational medicine: the Sitem-Insel.

Capping a visit that included discussions with members of the university, along with Felicitas Pauss, Chair of the Swiss Science Foundation, Antonio Loprieno (Chair of All European Academies, ALLEA and President of Swiss Academies of Arts & Sciences), Palmowski sat down with Leumann and some of UniBern's world-leading academics to discuss what Bern's Guild membership could mean for them.
