Alma Mater Europaea (Latin for "The European nourishing mother", i.e. university) is an international university based in the Austrian city of Salzburg, with campuses in several European cities. It was founded as an initiative by the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, a learned society of around 1500 prominent scientists,〔as of 2012〕 including 29 Nobel laureates. ==History== Since the early 2000s, the European Academy of Sciences and Arts has been planning the establishment of the university, occasionally with the subtitle of ''European University for Leadership''.〔(Alma Mater Europaea ) der Europäischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und Künste〕〔(EuroAcad ) → Organisation → Institutes → Alma Mater Europaea〕〔(EuroAcad ) → Search → Alma+Mater〕 In 2010, Alma Mater Europaea was officially established, with Felix Unger being appointed as its first president, while the German political scientist became the first rector, and the Slovenian lawyer and diplomat Ludvik Toplak the first prorector. At a meeting in Munich in February 2011, under the patronage of the presidents of 12 member states of the European Union, the board determined which courses the university would provide. These were to be taught in various cities across the union, in several languages, including English, German, and Spanish.〔(Alma Mater Europaea Board meeting, Munich, Germany, 18 February 2011 )〕 In line with the international nature of the university, students, teachers, and prominent European thinkers would meet at an international symposium at the graduation. It was also decided that Alma Mater Europaea would be incorporated in European and international networks of universities through cooperation agreements.〔(Alma Mater Europaea Board meeting, Munich, Germany, 18 February 2011 )〕 At the meeting it was decided that in the first stage, Alma Mater Europaea would start three 2-year degree programmes.〔(Alma Mater Europaea Board meeting, Munich, Germany, 18 February 2011 )〕 The university board stated that Alma Mater Europaea would be based on three so-called "W principles": Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft, Wirken. In German, this means: Science, Economy, Effect.〔(Alma Mater Europaea Board meeting, Munich, Germany, 18 February 2011 )〕 In 2011, the university opened in Slovenia its first campus, located in the Slovenian city of Maribor. This campus enrolled about 500 students in 2011. In July 2011 the university also co-sponsored a summer school in St. Gallen, Switzerland.〔(Summer School Human Change Processes, St. Gallen, Switzerland )〕 In the academic year 2012-2013, about 800 students were enrolled in Maribor. In 2013, the Salzburg campus of Alma Mater Europaea was founded and several other campuses are planned to be opened this year. It is planned that about 1000 students will be enrolled in various studies in Austria, Slovenia, and other countries in academic year 2013/14. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alma Mater Europaea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
