Eurolife is dedicated and committed to developing new pan-European standards of excellence in life science education and recognises the need for increased collaboration and mobility of students within Europe. Together, the Network works towards streamlining of the education policies in Europe. In 2013, Eurolife established the Eurolife Education Alliance (EEA), a Committee formerly known as the Joint Programme in Translational and Experimental Medicine (JPTEM), comprising of one representative per each Member. The EEA reinforces the Network’s activities in the area of education and training and deliberates on relevant on long-term strategies.
