Challenge the Now. In Unity.

The European Universities initiative is a flagship programme of the European Commission, created to strengthen strategic partnerships between institutions across Europe and to foster a new generation of Europeans who can study, work, and innovate across borders.

ChallengeEU is a vibrant community of nine universities and partners across Europe who believe that true power lies in diversity, collaboration, and the courage to question the status quo. Together, we are building an open, innovative, and sustainable European campus — a space where students, researchers, and local communities join forces to make a real impact.

This is more than education. It’s a movement. A breakthrough. A revolution in how we think about learning, cooperation, and the role of universities in addressing global challenges.

Challenge the Now. In Unity.

The aim of our initiative is to educate a new, cooperative generation of Europeans and to build a strong identity based on European values.

The Alliance that

Unites the Europe

Revolutionizing Academic Collaboration

ChallengeEU introduces an innovative model: Multi-Actor Research & Knowledge Exchange Teams (M.A.R.K.E.T.s). These vibrant hubs bring together students, researchers, and diverse partners from industry, administration, and society to collaboratively tackle complex challenges  in their fields.

Education Open to Everyone

The Alliance is committed to removing barriers to learning by creating Open, Diverse, and Inclusive Campuses (ODEI) at all partner universities. Regardless of background, ability, or circumstance, everyone gains equal access to high-quality education—because true innovation thrives in diversity and inclusion.

An Innovation Ecosystem for the Future

ChallengeEU builds lasting partnerships with a broad range of stakeholders, focusing on three key specialization areas: Health and Well-being, Smart Digitalization, and Sustainable Futures. Through M.A.R.K.E.T.s, an interdisciplinary collaboration platform emerges to foster real change and support sustainable development locally and across Europe.
