4EU+ Alliance, of which UW is a part, has received a grant in European Commission’s pilot project – ‘European Universities’ – financed from Erasmus+ programme.
Out of 54 proposals submitted in response to the call, the European Commission’s Directorate General for Education and Culture has selected seventeen European University alliances, which will obtain funding for their projects to become the ‘European Universities’ of the future.

About the 4EU+ Alliance
The 4EU+ mission is to develop a barrier-free and continuously deepening cooperation in education, research and innovation within the Alliance. Through this collaboration and working in partnerships, we serve society to the highest level with our core values:
-
Academic and research freedom
-
Democratization of education
-
Students at the centre
-
Collaboration in an interdisciplinary approach
-
Research excellence
-
Creativity and openness
-
Integrity
-
Internationalization
The collective ambition of 4EU+ is to strengthen the European vision of deeper cooperation and mutual enrichment. The transformation of our organisations through shared academic traditions and values and the expansion of well-established collaborations will benefit the alliance and in turn will better serve society.
Our universities are comprehensive, research-intensive, and innovative in teaching and learning and all enjoy vigorous socio-economic ecosystems. The 4EU+ member institutions are leading universities that are recognised nationally, within Europe, and internationally. This Alliance will solidify our already strong commitment to lead by example in creating university synergies in learning, research and innovation that reinforce each other in our missions and cooperation with the external environment.
4EU+ intends to play a pilot role in disseminating the vision of European Universities.
