The Humanities and Social Sciences Subject Committee convened on the 3rd and 4th of November at the University of Limerick. The encouraging level of attendance enabled a positive and engaged discussion of the compatibility matrices in four main subject areas, namely: Political Science, Sociology, Philosophy and Languages, Literatures and Culture. The matrices are currently in the form of a transparent summary of the great amount of information about study programmes that has been collected. As the Humanities and Social Sciences Subject Committee is the largest and the most extended of all existing committees in EUF-CE, the Members proposed isolating the “priority fields”, according to their compatiibility, their state of development, students´ interest and the availability of English as a language of instruction. 

It was further possible to design a network for exchange in Tourism Studies, given that there is considerable compatibility and interest within the Subject Committee in this field. It was agreed that the details of the study programmes would be sent soon with a view to constructing a matrix.

Also discussed was the proposal of the CE Presidency for a CE Masters Degree in European Governance, and what might be the best way to achieve this goal.  It was decided that those universities interested in being involved in this programme should identify a contact person from their institution to form a sub-committee in order to design the programme.

Subject Committee Members were encouraged to continue to promote Campus Europae enthusiastically within their institutions and amongst their students and colleagues, in a continued effort to build on the growing visibility of the network. The organization of information sessions involving ex-CE Movers and student representatives from other institutions was suggested as one way to do this.

The next Subject Committee meeting will be held at the University of Lodz, on the 1st and the 2nd June 2007.
