European Universities are ambitious transnational alliances of higher education institutions developing long-term structural and strategic cooperation, promoting European values and identity and revolutionizing the quality and competitiveness of European higher education.
The alliances:
include partners from all types of higher education institution and cover a broad geographic scope across Europe
are based upon a co-envisioned long-term strategy focussed on sustainability, excellence and European values
offer student-centred curricula jointly delivered across inter-university campuses, where diverse student bodies can build their own programmes and experience mobility at all levels of study
adopt a challenge-based approach according to which students, academics and external partners can cooperate in inter-disciplinary teams to tackle the biggest issues facing Europe today
