Discover the Future of European University Alliances – Join Us on 4 February 2026!

From Vision to Action: Strengthening European University Alliances for Greater Impact

In the Netherlands, eight universities of applied sciences are full partners in eight European University Alliances. Several others are involved as associate partners, members of consortia with a Seal of Excellence, or through long-term collaborations with European institutions.

On 11 September 2025, the European Parliament adopted resolution 2025/2036(INI), “A new vision for the European Universities alliances.” This non-legislative resolution, initiated by the Committee on Culture and Education and led by rapporteur Laurence Farreng (Renew Europe), offers strategic recommendations to the European Commission and Member States to further shape and strengthen the European University Initiative.

Join Us to Explore the Impact and Opportunities

What does this resolution mean for the alliances? What barriers, opportunities, and good practices exist? And how can Dutch UASs turn this vision into action?
We invite you to explore these questions together, share experiences, and co-create future steps.

The program will be shaped by contributions from participants. Interested in facilitating a session or sharing a case from your alliance?
Contact Gerbrich Miedema at g.g.n.miedema-moes@pl.hanze.nl
We look forward to your participation in shaping the future of European University Alliances.
