Discover Transform4Europe

Ten European universities have joined forces to educate people responsible for their environments, equipped with the state-of-the-art knowledge, which enables them to face the most important civilisation challenges.

Do you know that if you have access to knowledge, the possibility to conduct scientific research, and participate in classes or education of subsequent generations, you can influence the future of your region, country, Europe, and even the whole world? How proud it sounds! And yet, climate change, global digitalisation, social challenges, such as migration flows or society ageing, not to mention the pandemic reality, are processes, the effects of which we are experiencing here and now and which require immediate action, based on expert knowledge. These are the possibilities that Transform4Europe alliance has opened for us. It will educate new generations of highly skilled European knowledge entrepreneurs.
