ECOLAS is a non-governmental organization registered in Bratislava, Slovakia. It was established by Samuel Abrahám (BISLA, Bratislava), H. Laurent Boetsch (ECLA, Berlin) and Hans P.M. Adriaansens (Roosevelt Academy, Middelburg). They are also rectors or deans of the first Liberal Arts & Sciences Colleges in Europe. By combining the size of the Oxbridge colleges and adopting a Liberal Arts & Sciences programme, they have succeeded in improving both the quality of the bachelor programmes in their universities as well as the number of successful graduates. They have received many questions for assistance from other European universities, which, as a result of the so-called Bologna agreement, are prepared to build the same type of college. The three colleges have the expertise with respect to programming and organization, but needs the funds to actually assist these universities. The universities themselves, most of them being located in Central and Eastern Europe, have too little financial means to pay for these activities. As mobility and comparability in European higher education is an important policy goal, the consortium ECOLAS hopes that funds will be made available through the LLP. The objective is (1) establishment of Liberal Arts & Sciences Colleges throughout Europe, (2) the construction of a Liberal Arts & Sciences certificate and (3) a campaign to put the liberal arts programme on the list of accreditation committees throughout the EU member countries. The impact will be the improvement of undergraduate university education throughout Europe.
