Scopri EULiST! Linking Science and Society Il contributo di EULiST alla Strategia Europea per le Università. Dal cuore delle aree metropolitane europee alle regioni rurali periferiche, la nostra diversità e complementarità guida l'ambizione di impegnarci in una strategia congiunta per una trasformazione istituzionale strutturale verso un’Università europea. Nonostante le differenze, la motivazione collettiva si basa su una serie di valori e principi condivisi: uguaglianza, inclusione, diversità, democrazia e cooperazione internazionale pacifica. Ci impegniamo per una ricerca interdisciplinare e ad alto impatto, garantendo la libertà accademica, i dati aperti e la scienza aperta per il grande pubblico al fine di servire la società.
Alliance
Our mission
The EULiST Alliance is a consortium consisting of ten universities in ten countries and even more European regions with complementing strengths in technical topics, humanities and social sciences. The entire Alliance comprises of more than 200,000 students and 20,000 academic and administrative staff. EULiST members are located in large metropolitan areas such as Athens, Madrid, Paris or Vienna, in major cities like Bratislava, Brest, Brno or Hannover and smaller rural towns such as Albi, Jönköping, Lappeenranta or Lahti. Hence, EULiST represents the diversity of the European university landscape:
- Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic (BUT)
- Institut Mines-Télécom, France (IMT)
- Jönköping University, Sweden (JU)
- Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, Finland (LUT)
- Leibniz University Hannover, Germany (LUH)
- National Technical University of Athens, Greece (NTUA)
- Rey Juan Carlos University, Spain (UJRC)
- Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia (STU)
- University of L’Aquila, Italy (UNIVAQ)
- Vienna University of Technology, Austria (TUW)
However, our diversity is not only geographic. Our members vary in size from 6,000 students at LUT University to 45,000 at Rey Juan Carlos. There are many public Members and privately funded ones, long-standing and newly created. Seven of our universities specialise in technology and business; three are comprehensive, offering a full range of disciplines including both STEM and SSH degrees. Some are based on a single campus; others are spread across a wide metropolitan area (URJC, NTUA), in different cities (LUT) or throughout the whole country (IMT). This diversity is fundamental not only because it enables us to address the challenges of tomorrow, but because we can do so from different perspectives that take into account the different regions and also help us be aware of the complex consequences of our actions on individuals, society and the planet; enabling us to respond accordingly and appropriately. This diversity also provides the basis for future collaboration, beyond the four-year funding period, in hubs with other European University alliances, and allows us to act as a model of good practice for other universities, in order to form synergies across a broad disciplinary range within and beyond Europe.

What is the European Universities Initiative (EUI)?
In 2018, the European Commission launched the European Universities Initiative aiming to trigger and deepen unprecedented levels of cooperation between higher education institutions, making it systemic, structural and sustainable. Now part of Erasmus+ Programme, the initiative aims to encourage the emergence of bottom-up alliances of universities across Europe, which will enable students to combine studies in several countries. European Universities are transnational Alliances that intend to develop into universities of the future:
Through joint long-term strategies for education & research, the alliances aim to:
