The eight partners of the **EDUC European Digital UniverCity Alliance** create a truly integrated European University with students, researchers, and administrative staff who learn, impart, and work at universities differing in size, age, native languages and focus. Using modern digital tools and face-to-face collaboration, we cultivate a vast network of shared knowledge and academic values between Western, Central, Northern, and Southern Europe, developing strong ties between local environments to tackle the global challenges of the 21st century.
