We are pleased to announce that 261 institutions from 30 European countries have co-signed the joint statement "For an explicit recognition of European University Alliances as pillars of Europe's competitiveness, sovereignty and skills." The statement calls on the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament to acknowledge the role of the Alliances in the 2028–2034 Multiannual Financial Framework and in the European Competitiveness Fund.
In line with the vision and recommendations articulated by France Universités and the FOREU4ALL Community of Practice, we are committed to strengthening the European Education Area, Higher Education, and Research Areas, and to developing the skills needed to educate tomorrow's talent. We are pioneering deep cross-border collaboration, reducing fragmentation, and connecting regional innovation ecosystems.
We therefore call on the Council and the European Parliament to explicitly acknowledge and support the role of the European Universities alliances in the legislative texts currently under discussion for the 2028–2034 MFF.
