Who we are

From rapid technological developments to pollution and shifting migration patterns, our societies are under increasing pressure to rethink existing models, structures, and processes.

The Transform4Europe University Alliance has a new answer to face those challenges: knowledge entrepreneurship. This means empowering people to create and drive transformative change.

We educate a new generation of knowledge-entrepreneurs – agents of change equipped with interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial, digital, multilingual, and intercultural skills. They are ready to actively shape solutions to Europe’s most pressing challenges and to contribute to transformation in an interconnected world.

Students shaping T4EU

Students have a significant impact on what happens within the T4EU. One of the key governing bodies of the T4EU European University is the Student Council, which ensures that the student voice is not only heard but actively shapes the Alliance’s direction. Its members are representatives from all partner universities.
