T4EU Focal Points 2025
Hello, T4EU Family!
As we approached the end of 2025, it is time to pause and look back at a year that has truly redefined who we are. For us, this isn’t just a seasonal summary. It is a celebration of a major milestone in our shared journey.
Our vision of building one university has moved from a concept to a reality. Whether you are a student exploring our joint educational offer, a doctoral candidate collaborating across borders, or a staff member participating in our professional development programs, you are the heartbeat of this single, integrated institution.

As we present this annual report, it is a great opportunity for the Transform4Europe alliance to take a look on our overall journey—reflecting on our achievements over the past year, assessing our current progress, and setting our sights on the road ahead.
Though we are still a young alliance, having existed for just five years, we have already built a strong foundation and made remarkable strides toward our shared vision. This past year has been particularly significant, as it marked the first time all 11 partner universities were fully engaged in shaping and strengthening our collaboration.
Together, we have expanded our initiatives, deepened our cooperation, and reinforced our commitment to transforming European higher education for the future. So, what have we accomplished over the past year? This report provides a comprehensive overview of our key milestones, challenges, and successes. It is a testament to the collective dedication and innovation of our alliance, and it serves as both a reflection of our progress and an inspiration for the journey ahead.

Five years together
2025 also marks a 5th anniversary of our Alliance. We have transitioned from a project into a permanent partnership. This year saw the official establishment of our Legal Entity, a step that solidifies our future. Furthermore, the launch of the Joint Grants Office is already empowering scientists to reach new heights in international funding and innovation.
- An important step in solidifying our cooperation is the establishment of the T4EU Joint Grants Office. This international project office, funded from own resources of the Alliance members, supports researchers in acquiring funds for research projects. This will further strengthen our scientific ties.
- We are testing various forms of cooperation – joint study programmes, diplomas, short-term mobility, educational paths, and research projects – with the aim of making them a permanent part of the offer at each of our universities. The institutionalisation of our cooperation is a key tool to achieve this goal.

Legal Entity
The official ceremony to mark the establishment of the Alliance as a legal entity was held during the T4EU Strategic Policy Conference at Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas. The document was signed by the rectors of the T4EU partner universities.
The efforts to establish the legal entity were coordinated by a team led by Prof. Tomasz Pietrzykowski, Vice-Rector for International and Domestic Cooperation at the University of Silesia in Katowice. The signing of the document constitutes an important stage in the development of the Alliance, proving its sustainability and readiness to act independently on the international stage. This marks a step beyond the project framework — the T4EU Alliance is now evolving into a lasting and structured partnership.
