The work carried out in the three previous projects to design a European classification of higher education institutions has produced a set of tools that can be used to enhance the transparencyof the European higher education area. The U-Map classification has been presented to international audiences and its tools are seen as an innovative and intelligent way to characterise higher education institutions. U-Map will have a significant impact on the way the European higher education landscape is perceived by various stakeholders both within Europe and globally. To create this impact, the U-Map classification needs to cover a substantial proportion of European higher education institutions. The project is geared towards increasing this coverage in a sustainable way and to raising awareness of the U-Map classification.The project will result in a classification of European higher education institutions with a substantial number of identifiable higher education institutions included. The project will also result in a set of elaborate and empirically tested procedures and protocols that will be crucial for creating a reliable and sustainable classification instrument.The project will also continue to work on creating an organisational basis for the U-Map classification as outlined in the report of the third project. The project is expected to lead to a surge of interest from European higher education institutions to participate in U-Map, which will lead to a growing awareness and use of the U-Map classification by a range of stakeholders, especially higher education institutions (individually and in associations) and national higher education policymakers. It will also facilitate the further development of other initiatives funded by the European Commission to develop additional transparancy instruments to better inform stakeholders in higher education.
