The EC2U Alliance is proud to work with 63 Associated Partners. They are at the very heart of our vision for the University of the Future, creating a vital link between universities and their local ecosystems: cities, citizens, institutions, and organisations.

This collaboration brings universities and partners together as one community, co-creating innovative tools that support local communities and citizens in adapting to a fast-changing society.

Our Associated Partners include:

Cities, regional governments, and agencies
Students’ associations
Science parks, socio-economic actors, university hospitals, SMEs, and industry representatives

They contribute through 4 main areas of collaboration:

Participating in EC2U activities: mentoring students, judging competitions, speaking at events
Supporting employability: offering internships, guiding research projects, delivering lectures
Advancing research: hosting webinars, joining Virtual Institute activities
Building partnerships: networking locally and across Europe, sharing best practice, and exploring funding opportunities
