WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1119/98 by Alexandros ALAVANOS to the Commission. Closure of the department of archaeology at the University of Mannheim
Official Journal C 386 , 11/12/1998 P. 0084
WRITTEN QUESTION E-1119/98 by Alexandros Alavanos (GUE/NGL) to the Commission (8 April 1998) Subject: Closure of the department of archaeology at the University of Mannheim The University of Mannheim in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is to close down departments dealing with classical studies for "financial reasons". In view of the important contribution to the development of classical studies and research made by the departments under threat at the University and the importance that the European Union attaches to the "common cultural heritage", will the Commission say whether programmes of aid are available for the departments concerned to continue their activities, should the University submit a request? Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (25 May 1998) The Community funds intended to strengthen cooperation between Member States' education systems and give a European dimension to teaching at all levels are those provided for under the Community's Socrates programme. The activities eligible under the Socrates programme do not include the funding of university departments.
