The European University Viadrina is one element in the strategic political rapprochement between Germany and Poland, while Fribourg is an essential component in the political structures within a bilingual Canton.

At the University of Fribourg, students must obtain a minimum of 25 percent of their credits using the "second" language, but at the same time the university aims to ensure that all subjects can be studied in either language, in order to meet any combination of demands.

 B o G, U + S: Whose European Higher Education?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Several ECJ cases in the 70s and 80s were related to education, revolving around issues like access to education for non-nationals in member states and eligibility for particular provisions and the relation with the principles of non-discrimination (for an excellent analysis, see Verbruggen, 2002, in Dutch).
The growing role of the ECJ in this 'Europeanisation by stealth' is illustrated by a recent example: the German medicine students in Austria.
Universities will strategically try to lift coordination to the European level whenever they see benefits for themselves; in other cases they will ally with their national governments.
