Project Summary

European Digital UniverCity (EDUC) is an alliance of six universities – University of Cagliari (Italy), Masaryk University (Czech Republic), University of Pécs (Hungary), University of Potsdam (Germany), University of Rennes 1 (France) and University Paris Nanterre (France) –, that pledges to build an innovative form of academic community (or “UniverCity”) within the European Higher Education Area. EDUC aims at the deepening of the Bologna process and the creation of a common space where students, teachers and staff can collaborate without administrative, cultural, or social boundaries. EDUC will strengthen the European identification process by enhancing knowledge creation and by putting forward European skills acquisition through digitally supported cross-campus and cross-disciplinary teaching activities as well as various learning opportunities. New pedagogies with a strong digital component will allow our students to benefit from tailor-made curricula and will significantly raise and simplify their international mobility. EDUC will establish an inclusive, integrated and efficient governance that will build on the mutual trust between our six universities in all areas, from bottom to top. By 2025, EDUC’s objectives and actions will have paved the way for a new university, more inclusive in geographical and sociological terms, academically innovative, connected to its ecosystems, and with the full capacity to meet all of society’s contemporary challenges.
