4EU+ IN A NUTSHELL: WATCH OUR VIDEO!  Each new academic year brings change and development for the 4EU+ Alliance and our universities' communities – we are growing together. What is behind the One Comprehensive Research-intensive European University? How are we building the university of the future? What are the values that guide us? Take a look at our new video, which tells the story of what we do and what is important to us. 4EU+ ANNUAL MEETING IN MILAN  The 4EU+ community will gather at the University of Milan on 7-9 November for the Annual Meeting 2023, which will take place this year under the theme #BuildingBridges – Becoming one European University. Since the launch of the 4EU+ European University Alliance back in 2019, we have jointly worked to build an interuniversity campus, bridging our communities and disciplines in and across research, education and service to society. Going forward, we will now look at our achievements as well as at the future challenges and opportunities to create a truly integrated European University. The plenary session – 8 November, 9:00 – will be livestreamed on the 4EU+ Youtube channel.
