EPICUR - The European University
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 EPICUR.
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?
EPICUR (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 Research, a program for early career scientists, has also been part of EPICUR since the beginning of 2021.
You can find further information about EPICUR here in Freiburg on our Information page for the European University.
