The European Commission has reached its target, on schedule, of creating 60 or more alliances of European Universities with the announcement that 14 new alliances are being launched before the end of 2024.
The alliances are a key feature of the European Union’s European Strategy for Universities, which aims to develop “a genuinely European dimension in the higher education sector”.
The 14 new institutions will join the 50 European Universities already selected under previous “Erasmus+ calls” in 2022 and 2023.
The new alliances will each receive up to €14.4 million (US$15.4 million) over a period of four years.
In all, the 64 European University alliances include more than 560 higher education institutions of all types across 35 countries including all the EU member states, as well as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Montenegro, the Republic of North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia and Türkiye.
A further 400 higher education institutions from Ukraine are associated partners of various alliances.
