    The report expands on the role of alliances in EU strategic autonomy, competitiveness, and values, adding new recitals and paragraphs. It introduces new calls for a European degree, accreditation area, and tailored funding, while stressing the need for sustainable and coordinated financing. It adds provisions on academic freedom, societal impact, and internationalisation, and calls for compliance with EU values. It reorders and renumbers paragraphs, merging some and adding new ones on research, innovation, and skills. The other changes are formal: the explanatory statement is updated with minor wording changes.
