5d853beadb2072b1f68003741777fa32

What is a European University?

The vision of bringing together a new generation of creative and well-educated Europeans across national borders, who are tackling current social challenges of our time using different lan-guages, as well as a transdisciplinary approach in the context of mobile and innovative teaching and learning formats, forms the foundation of the European University alliance EPICUR¹.
The University of Freiburg has been a member of EPICUR, the European University, since 2019 and is therefore – beyond Eucor – involved in another strong European network.

What does EPICUR do?

EPICUR¹ (European Partnership for an Innovative Campus Unifying Regions) is a European University Alliance aiming to make the vision of an interdisciplinary, diverse and sustainable European University come true. EPICUR faces complex challenges and aims to reinforce Europe-wide cooperation.

Besides the University of Freiburg, 8 other European partner Universities from a total of 7 different countries of the European Union, are involved in EPICUR.

EPICUR Research², a program for early career scientists, has also been part of EPICUR since the beginning of 2021.
