T4EU alliance
In 2020, seven universities from different parts of the European Union teamed up to outline and shape the future of education. Since then, three more universities have joined in. Among them, an imagined campus was created to share knowledge and skills. Educational institutions were selected with different orientations and study programs. In this way, Estonian art students could connect with Bulgarian mathematicians, or the future teachers of Alicante could link with Polish polar explorers.
Through the Alliance, the students can easily participate virtually or visit lectures in partner universities. They can engage in different activities together. The program also allows academic staff to gather and share knowledge and resources.
Even though higher education institutions have different backgrounds, they are united by the same values, such as sustainability and environmentalism.
The Transform4Europe project, or in other words, The European University for Knowledge Entrepreneurs, is financed by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union.
