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.
Being a part of one university

- I am really happy to speak to you on this joyous occasion as our Transform4Europe Alliance celebrates its 5th anniversary. It's a great moment to look back at what we have achieved together over the past years, the many events we have organised, the strategies and reports we have developed, and the people and institutions we have connected across Europe. Seeing the full scope of this work is truly impressive and I would like to sincerely congratulate everyone who has been involved in building the Alliance. Nonetheless, five years in the life of a university alliance is still a relatively short period, and what we have created so far is nothing more but a starting point and a strong foundation for the future. Coming back from our recent Strategic Assembly, I was especially encouraged by the energy, motivation, and enthusiasm of our teams and by the clear willingness to take the Alliance further. Looking towards 2035 and beyond, I am sure that we will continue to expand and Transform4Europe into a truly strong and inspiring European university. Congratulations to all of you, all of us, and thank you for being part of this journey.
Samuele’s journey
In the meantime, check the journey of Samuele Criscuolo, a graduate in International and Diplomatic Sciences, who shares how the T4EU has profoundly shaped his academic and personal growth.
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.
