“This is great news! I look forward to two more years in which we will advance the European ideal of collaboration in teaching and research,” emphasizes Prof. Roswitha Böhm, Vice Rector for University Culture and Internationalization at TUD.

EUTOPIA is one of the first alliances of the European University Initiative and has been funded by Erasmus+ since 2019. A successful pilot phase was followed in 2022 by the four-year follow-up project EUTOPIA MORE, which enabled the expansion of joint degree programs, innovative teaching formats, and cross-institutional collaboration. TUD joined the alliance in 2021 and has been receiving EU funding in this context since 2022.

In the new funding phase, TUD will focus its contributions on three areas of the alliance in particular: In the area of teaching cooperation, it will support the development of microcredentials and international modules and degree programs within the alliance. TUD will also develop specific teaching formats for early-career researchers for the Alliance. A third area is the coordination of initiatives to strengthen European and democratic values at the participating universities.
