The 2023 call submitted proposals bring us closer to reaching the European strategy for universities objective of 60 European Universities alliances established by mid-2024, involving around 500 higher education institutions across Europe.

Driving systemic change through deeper cooperation

The European Universities initiative supports higher education institutions to achieve greater quality, performance, attractiveness and international competitiveness. It promotes common European values and a strengthened European identity. The initiative does this by setting innovative and diverse models of long-term institutionalised cooperation between higher education institutions (HEIs) across Europe.

The initiative is implemented under Erasmus+ through a series of calls for proposals. The latest (2023) call closed on 31 January. Results are expected in summer 2023.
