Thanks to Helge Städtler from the University of Bremen (Germany), I was directed to an interesting European project, carried out from Norway by NKI Distance Education.
This project is called "Megatrends in E-Learning Provision". In one of their workpackages, that recently got finished, they have delivered some interesting case descriptions (based on interviews) of virtual universities and the like from all over Europe.
This specific workpackage started with a nominations round apparantly, whereby everyone (?) could nominate an institution to be included in the research. This list of nominations is quite long. But a lot of nominations were not investigated further because of failing to pass criteria like the number of enrollments per year (should be more than 5000) or the number of courses on offer (should be more than 100).
The project has identified, based on these criteria, no virtual universities within countries like Austria, Sweden, Belgium, Czechia and The Netherlands! There are case studies available from institutions from Germany, Estonia, the UK, Norway, Spain and Italy.
