Project Summary

The Ulysseus Alliance integrates four European regions (according to EUROVOC) and six diverse universities, solidly rooted in their localities. From the North to the South, from the oldest to the youngest, from comprehensive to Applied Sciences universities, from established, research-based universities to experts in entrepreneurship and academic innovation. This diversity is Ulysseus core strength to accurate create a dynamic and versatile Alliance, constructed upon more than 90 stakeholders’ support, ready to develop an agile, sustainable and proactive community for boosting the four missions of higher education institutions: Education, Research, Transfer of knowledge and Service to Society. To this effect, Ulysseus Alliance encompasses more than 180.000 students, academics and staff.

It took Ulysses ten years to reach Ithaca. With the same enthusiasm and determination as the Odyssey’s hero, our Ulysseus Alliance faces an ambitious 10 years journey. Ulysseus joint vision for 2030 is to have developed an excellency-recognized, internationally attractive, open to the world, persons-centred and entrepreneurial European University for the citizens of the future. Understanding our alliance as an Innovation Ecosystem, developing solutions for specific R&D local and regional challenges from 6 Innovation Hubs, is Ulysseus unique and distinguishing feature. By doing so, this alliance ambition is to contribute to shape the European Higher Education and Research Areas, and hence the future of Europe, through a step-by-step approach.

The first three years of the Ulysseus University are devoted to designing and co-creating the joint structures, governance and management systems, and launching the activities programs’ pilots. At the end of this phase, a new, modern, open and active University will be fully available for European citizens and to the rest of the world, meaningful contributing to our regions RIS3, Horizon Europe missions and clusters, Green Deal and UN SDG.
