Within the framework of the Erasmus+ initiative “European Universities – Development of new deep institutional transnational cooperation”, the funding of seven new European university alliances was officially announced on 3 July 2023.
The “European University for Peace, Justice, and Inclusive Societies” (EUPeace), initiated under the leadership of Marburg University, is among these seven new alliances with a funding amount of almost 14.4M€ for the initial funding period of four years.
“Our alliance is characterised by a particular sensitivity to the challenges of peace, justice, and inclusive societies, stemming from each partner’s national context and institutional development. Together as EUPeace, we have already made a tremendous achievement of growing together and learning from each other on our way to this funding, and we can’t wait to launch our work as a European higher education institution now officially funded.” – Deputy President of Marburg University, Prof. Evelyn Korn
The EUPeace Alliance pursues a socio-political approach that will provide tomorrow’s Europeans with skills and knowledge that will contribute to the promotion of peace, justice and inclusive societies in Europe and the world. The member universities will jointly develop innovative teaching and learning formats and joint degree programmes, involving all disciplines from social sciences to life sciences and engineering, and address current and future societal challenges in joint research and outreach projects.
