We aim to establish a European University, which creates a new generation of future-oriented students, and delivers innovative, flexible, diverse, and challenge-based educational and research systems open to all learners. An integrated long-term joint strategy for education envisions transforming existing programmes, embedding European values, using ground-breaking pedagogical approaches, employing infrastructures, human capital, and exploiting synergies of inter-regional collaboration to accelerate regional green and digital transitions. Innovative curricula, microcredentials; PhD programmes will developed. Partners will conceptualise a multi-&cross-disciplinary, inter-university challenge-based knowledge creation model, which enables our researchers and teachers to gain unique insights into our Priority Areas: Circular Economy; Energy Transition; Digital Transformation; Arts&Creative Industries; Healthy Ageing; Living Spaces and Entrepreneurship&Innovation, to provide outstanding solutions. Existing joint cooperation structures (Regional Transition Accelerator, Curriculum and Challenge Labs) enable smooth inter-institutional collaboration. To nurture Deep-tech talents, a Future Lab will be established. Our Campus will be the place, where all interactions are created, bringing together knowledge, ideas, culture, and people, forging interaction between academia, working life and surrounding communities to collectively create knowledge development. All types mobility will be enhanced to 50% of students and 40% of staff to benefit.
