EUPeace is pleased to share its Annual Report 2025. As noted by Professor Dr Evelyn Korn, Chair of the EUPeace Governing Board, in the beginning of the Annual Report, 2025 became the year in which the Alliance focused on “translating ambitious ideas into concrete actions.” Such a step greatly increased the role of EUPeace in ensuring Europe’s peacefulness, justice, and inclusiveness.
Advancing education and mobility
EUPeace made significant strides towards building a more connected, innovative, and inclusive educational Alliance. Building on the achievements of 2024, the Alliance further developed the European Track for its pilot phase (2025–2026), expanded its Virtual European Exchange Programme (VEEP), opening up new and attractive opportunities for students to take courses across partner universities, and developed the Education for Open Science Strategy, preparing the ground for Alliance-wide training and capacity-building from late 2025 onwards. At the same time, plans for the development of Joint Master’s Programmes were advanced through expert workshops.
Strengthening research collaboration
EUPeace significantly strengthened its research and doctoral landscape by expanding its Research Hubs, launching the Doctoral Network, and introducing Doctoral Mobility Grants. These initiatives aimed at deepening collaboration among established researchers, created new opportunities for early-stage scholars, and fostered international mobility across the Alliance. Thereby, the Alliance reinforced its commitment to research-based education and cross-border cooperation.
Expanding societal engagement
Outreach activities focused on moving from conceptual planning to Alliance-wide implementation of formats and strategies developed from 2024 onwards. Building on a solid foundation, the year marked a clear shift towards operational consolidation across communication, dissemination, impact monitoring, and science outreach.
Looking ahead to 2026
Following a highly productive year in 2025, in which EUPeace established its core structures, and recurring formats, the Alliance enters 2026 from a position of growing maturity and recognition. Key Alliance-wide events were successfully institutionalised, central formats such as the Teaching Staff Academy (TSA) became firmly embedded, and flagship initiatives were further developed across teaching, research, mobility, and societal engagement.
