YUFE
Young Universities for the Future of Europe
The YUFE Alliance is based on the joint vision of ten young research-intensive universities and two non-academic partners located all across Europe. The YUFE partners came together based on their shared dedication to the European spirit, their common aim to contribute to a more competitive, innovative and united Europe and their ambition to help address today’s challenges.
About YUFE
The cooperation within YUFE originated from the Young European Research Universities Network (YERUN), which includes seven of YUFE’s academic institutions. This prior collaboration enabled them to engage in several joint activities. Their aspiration to establish a European University is fuelled by a desire to enhance employability, implement embedded mobility schemes for students and staff, promote inclusive higher education, and invest in the active learning of European languages.
