The Regional University Network – European University (RUN-EU) is an alliance of eight like-minded higher education instituti ... ons drawn from all regions of Europe and established under the European Universities Initiative. Together, we’re more than 8,000 staff members working collaboratively across languages and national frontiers, and striving to secure the sustainable economic, social, cultural and environmental progress of our regions and stakeholders through education. Our mission is to deliver the future and advanced skills that will help our students, researchers, academics and partners successfully meet the challenges of the future, engage in societal transformation and promote active citizenship, thereby leading to the creation of a new type of multinational interregional alliance, a European Zone for Interregional Development. With more than 75,000 students and 97 research centres and groups, RUN-EU is spread across Europe: from Portugal to Finland, from Ireland to Hungary, and from Austria to The Netherlands. Our students will inherit the future. read more
