Students rights

The European Students Union (OUSA is not a member) has produced (with the help of the European Commission) this statement of student rights http://www.esib.org/documents/publications/Project%20Publications/LOTR-publication.pdf


Universities of course don't have to follow them.

E-voting

....is no doubt the way ahead.

If you look at this magazine http://www.e-voting.cc/ then you'll see that the Austrian Student Union elections have been pioneers here.

One of the slogans is 'I can shop online, so why can't I vote online', but the system is maybe still a bit cumbersome.

Basically though, there is loads of activity here, including a Conference in London in June.

Euroculture

Euroculture is part of Erasmus - it's a small networked programme of Masters Level studies in matters European. I originally found out about it when I was surfing the site of Uppsala University, green with envy about the lack of tuition fees in Sweden (but you have to pay a student union fee!). Look at how clear and Euro-friendly this site is btw www.studyinsweden.se


http://www.euroculturemaster.org/default.aspx?sec=3&sub=7 shows the result of some of their work and the main information is here http://www.euroculturemaster.org/

Implications for the O U - well, some kind of Euro-distance learning networked qualification?
