Since the onset of the economic crisis, the EP has strongly supported the creation of a Youth Guarantee scheme, which was finally adopted in April 2013 as the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI).

The Youth Guarantee is a commitment by all Member States to ensure that all young people under the age of 25 years receive a good quality offer of employment, continued education, apprenticeship, traineeship, within a period of four months of becoming unemployed or leaving formal education.

The Youth Guarantee has become a reality across the EU and has helped to improve the lives of millions of young Europeans.

Universities have a long history in Europe, and as institutions they have evolved with the societies in which they are embedded. Today, the scope of tertiary education covers a whole range of specialisations, from the strictly academic to the vocational. Other institutions such as colleges and universities of applied science complement the educational benefits provided by universities. With the rapid pace of change in contemporary societies, the question arises as to whether tertiary education institutions have maintained their relevance to help societies respond to their needs. Higher education institutions provide both teaching and research functions with a clear impact on economies and the future of generations of young people.
