Welcome to the World of European Universities!

Discover your path in the future of Europe.

Are you ready to explore what it means to learn, live, and grow as part of a truly European community?

European Universities are long-term alliances between universities across Europe—vibrant networks where students, teachers, and researchers come together to create one shared campus without borders. Supported by the European Commission, these alliances open doors to new cultures, languages, and ideas through mobility, innovation, and collaboration.

Here, you can study in one country, research in another, and work on real-world challenges that shape our shared future. You’ll find interdisciplinary programs, inspiring mentors, and endless opportunities to make an impact—on your community, on science, and on Europe.

More than a degree, it’s a journey that celebrates diversity, creativity, and European identity. Because together, we’re building a Europe that learns, grows, and thrives—one student at a time.

ErasmusGen Network

Can you imagine your school being part of a large European community of educational centers? Join the Ulysseus ErasmusGen Network, the new Erasmus+ network of secondary schools from Ulysseus. With this new network of secondary schools, we want to make it possible.

The idea is simple: interested schools can register and become part of a shared directory of secondary schools from the countries in the Ulysseus alliance.

Join

Coffees with Science

An activity in which a scientist sits down with a small group of guests to chat around a table while enjoying a cup of coffee. The participants are students in the final years of secondary school and high school from educational centres, although there are also sessions open to the general public.

During the meeting, the expert talks about his/her scientific work, what their day-to-day life is like, and even their hobbies, engaging in an informal and friendly conversation with the participants.
