Beyond the Campus: Unlocking the Societal Potential of European Universities
Universities often define their societal relevance from within. This panel reverses the perspective and asks external stakeholders what they need from European University alliances, and where cross-border university cooperation can make a real difference: skills and lifelong learning, innovation and entrepreneurship, local and European challenges, and talent attraction and retention. The discussion focuses on moving from participation in individual projects to sustained co-creation.
What can a European University alliance offer society that individual universities cannot achieve as effectively on their own?
- Which societal, economic or regional challenges are European University alliances particularly well placed to address?
- What would make collaboration with an alliance genuinely valuable for companies, public authorities and civil society organisations?
- How can stakeholders move from being occasional partners to becoming active co-creators?
- How should alliances demonstrate that they are creating meaningful societal impact?
