Mission statement of Europa-Universität Flensburg
The university’s driving objective is to further its development into an internationally-oriented Europa university.
The concept of being a "university of and for Europe" that is strongly geared towards the educational sciences is unique. As the European dimension increasingly moves to the forefront of our research and teaching, the university’s profile will continue to emerge and develop from that sharper focus on European topics and perspectives.
