Transform4Europe (T4EU) is a strategic alliance of 10 diverse universities from across all 4 regions of Europe. They have come together with the joint vision of creating an integrated, inclusive multi-campus university based on shared European values to educate and train knowledge-entrepreneurs as drivers of transformation for the benefit of sustainable and resilient European societies. To achieve this, T4EU will intensify its previous endeavours to embed the alliance in a network of the surrounding regions, creating an interregional innovation ecosystem in which students, researchers and external stakeholders collaborate in the T4EU focus areas of digital transformation and smart regions, environmental transformation and sustainability, and societal transformation and inclusion to jointly drive the development of Europe through the regions.
Through an ambitious work programme, T4EU strives to create one single European University, consolidated in a legal entity, with a joint governance and management, joint infrastructure, a strong brand and a common heritage. T4EU will provide flexible programmes for students and lifelong learners. The T4EU teaching and learning environment will be characterised by knowledge-entrepreneurialism, innovative teaching methods and co-creation formats between students, staff and entrepreneurs. T4EU staff and students will be able to move seamlessly within a green, diverse and inclusive European Campus in person and online. T4EU will act as role model with a strong societal impact and global outreach. The activities will directly involve 5.200 persons from all target groups (students, (young) researchers, academic, non-academic staff, university leadership and regional stakeholders). T4EU’s 24 innovative and high-impact outcomes ranging from mobility formats and study offer portfolios to a joint infrastructure platform will benefit the entire T4EU university community, its regions, and will be largely transferable to other European HEI.
