Project Summary

The Regional University Network – European University (RUN-EU) will secure the sustainable economic, social, cultural and environmental progress of its regions and stakeholders. RUN-EU will implement this mission by delivering on the future and advanced skills necessary for its students and stakeholders to successfully meet the challenges of the future, engage in societal transformation and promote active citizenship, thereby leading in the creation of a new multinational alliance, a European Zone for Interregional Development.
This mission will be achieved through the development of:
• Interuniversity Future and Advanced Skills Academies, which promote and develop joint student-centred, challenge and work-based flexible learning activities, including Short Advanced Programmes and European Degrees, through collaborative and pedagogically innovative inter-university and interregional approaches to higher education;
• European Innovation Hubs, which will stimulate and create joint interregional research, innovation and regional stakeholder engagement projects and activities across the alliance;
• A European Mobility Innovation Center, which will build and share expertise in innovative physical and virtual mobility initiatives and will assess the quality of new mobility activities.
In implementing its mission RUN-EU will foster at its core existing EU principles, values and objectives, including multiculturalism and inclusiveness, and will deliver on the core objectives of the European Education Area by “removing barriers to learning and improving access to quality education”, thus “enabling all young people to benefit from the best education and training, and to find employment across Europe”.
RUN-EU will improve the competitiveness of its regions, HEIs and students, thus allowing them to complement large city-regions; retain and attract young talent and correct unfavourable bias in development trends in peripheral EU regions.
Our students will inherit the future.
