European University Alliances are increasingly evolving from cooperation platforms into strategic systems that connect education, research, innovation, skills development, and societal engagement across borders. This contribution examines how alliances move beyond project-based collaboration toward more durable forms of institutional transformation through governance structures, coordination...
Background. European University Alliances (EUAs) are positioned as strategic instruments to transform higher education and strengthen the European Education and Research Areas. Despite strong political support and ambitious integration agendas, many alliances remain structurally dependent on temporary, project-based funding and fragmented governance arrangements. This creates a sustainability...
The growing urgency of biodiversity loss calls for new mechanisms capable of transforming scientific knowledge into scalable solutions with environmental, social, and economic impact. While European universities produce significant biodiversity-related research, the pathways through which scientific discoveries evolve into entrepreneurial initiatives remain fragmented and underdeveloped....
The growing integration of generative artificial intelligence into higher education is reshaping not only pedagogical practices, but also the institutional conditions through which knowledge is evaluated and legitimised. While AI is often framed in terms of efficiency and innovation, less attention has been paid to how computational systems may transform the epistemic role of universities as...
Global food systems face growing pressure from population growth, climate change, resource degradation, geopolitical instability, and rapid digital transformation. At the same time, there is increasing demand for sustainable, transparent, and socially responsible food production. In response, the EU Farm-to-Fork strategy promotes resilient and environmentally friendly food systems through...
This study considers lifelong learning infrastructure as a key enabler for building a skills-driven Europe. It examines how AI literacy, microskills and adaptive upskilling can help individuals, organisations and education systems respond to rapidly changing labour markets. The study is based on the European context, where digital transformation, the green transition, demographic shifts and...
