Each year, the Alliance organises the EC2U Forum to gather students, staff, citizens, local and regional authorities and foster open dialogue on pressing societal issues and share good practices.

The EC2U Forum organises special round tables devoted to the exchange of guidelines dealing with the higher education challenges (implementation of the Bologna Process, student & staff mobility, creation of European Diploma, etc): major stakeholders from the field are invited, including the European Commission (DG EAC), members from the Coimbra Group of Universities as well as other Alliances. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are already addressed at the 8 universities and their municipalities. It is thus important to identify the related activities and give them more impact, for instance at additional round tables of the EC2U Forums. Finally,  EC2U Forums also participate in sharing education innovation to the wider audience, introducing the build-up of an enlightened debate with Citizens.
