EUPeace is the European University for Peace, Justice, and Inclusive Societies.
Our mission is to provide tomorrow’s citizens with the skills, knowledge, and experience to cultivate Peace, Justice, and Inclusive Societies. We explicitly address all sciences and fields, from the humanities and social sciences to the natural and life sciences as well as engineering, and are inspired by the rebuilt bridge of Mostar – the symbol in our logo – as a testament to how dialogue can overcome conflict.
EUPeace is comprised of 9 institutions coming together, embracing and fostering our unique geographic distribution and the implications these geographic roots bring to EUPeace: our institutions are located in regions with a lot of internal diversity and sometimes a still recent history of conflict.
We are Marburg University (Germany), Justus Liebig University Giessen (Germany), University of Limoges (France), University of Calabria (Italy), Comillas Pontifical University (Spain), University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Czechia), University of Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Çukurova University (Türkiye), University of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) as well as our associated partners in Europe and beyond.

I’ve witnessed first-hand the power of collective action in addressing complex challenges, and the outcomes have been transformative. EUPeace is an adventure you can’t resist.

© Ali Haydar ÖksüzOne of the things that impressed me the most about Marburg was that it is a university based city with a wonderful cultural structure. With its historical background and castles, every minute I felt like being in a Harry Potter movie. Also university’s wide range of facilities has a great impact on the development of the students who come here. My favorite part of Marburg University was the library; I can easily say it’s the largest and most beautiful library I’ve ever seen…This university is perfect for a student!
