Goals

A thrilling endeavour to shape the Future of Europe. We have a vision: to develop an excellency-recognized European University built upon the European values of social cohesion and respect for human rights. We strongly believe that European Universities should be open-to-the-world, solidary institutions beyond European borders.

To modernise our universities

We want to contribute to the modernisation of our educational institutions by developing a long-lasting Ulysseus territorial and digital Innovation Ecosystem. To that end, we will rely on: The Ulysseus community, representing the helix: partner universities and associated partners. The Ulysseus campus: Central Management Office, Digital Platform and Innovation Hubs.

To contribute to the development of our regions and cities

We aim to implement a series of student-centered, flexible, and work-based European Joint Programmes, interlinked with research and knowledge transfer activities. This is what we are working on:

  • European Degrees
  • Ulysseus internship programme
  • Short-format courses

  • Joint Research Centers
  • Joint Incubators
  • Living labs
