INGENIUM Alliance of European Universities

ongoing

"The INGENIUM – European University is an ambitious Alliance that brings together 10 Universities from 10 EU Member States, supported by a large group of associate organisations, ranging from regional and local governments to industry and civil society groups. INGENIUM founding members are 10 mid-size Higher Education Institutions spread across the territory of the EU with a strong European vocation. Led by the 400-year-old University of Oviedo (UNIOVI - ES), the Alliance involves prestigious and forward-looking universities: the Medical University of Sofia (MUS - BG), the University of Crete (UoC - EL), the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences (HKA - DE), the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (XMKA - FI), the University ""G. d'Annunzio"" of Chieti – Pescara (Ud’A - IT), the University of Skövde (SE), the Munster Technological University (MTU - IE), the University of Rouen-Normandy (URN - FR) and the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi (TUIASI - RO). INGENIUM perfectly embodies the heterogeneity of European higher education, diverse in geography, cultural background, organisation and activities. Diversity makes us complementary both in education and research and offers us a perfect platform for cooperation and a great opportunity to learn from each other. The INGENIUM Alliance is born out of our shared ambition of enhancing the existing Inter-university cooperation between the partner Universities, and is ready to move forward and become a completely integrated European University with ten campuses distributed throughout the Union. We aspire the INGENIUM European University to award fully accredited and recognised higher education degrees, applying a single QA Policy. We will multiply our joint programmes and innovate in our academic offer, setting up a framework for Open Degrees, for students to customize their study programmes. Pedagogical innovation, Entrepreneurship, Inclusiveness and Sustainability will be key areas of activity. "
