The Higher Institute of Insurance and Finance (VUZF) fully accepts and supports the EU's higher education policy for modernization and internalization and thus contributing to the goals of a European Education Area laid down in the communication on "Strengthening European Identity through Education and Culture" published ahead of the EU Leaders" meeting in Gothenburg on 17 November 2017, as well as supports the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, recognizing the importance of higher education for economic and social development.
