Hosted by the Alliance’s northernmost partner, the gathering offered a valuable opportunity to share experiences, strengthen cooperation, and plan the next steps in advancing EC2U’s mission. Over the course of several days, participants engaged in productive discussions on communication strategies, project management, and joint initiatives aimed at enhancing the visibility and impact of the Alliance across Europe.

The meeting also fostered team spirit beyond the working sessions. Participants had the opportunity to explore Umeå’s cultural life and academic environment, visiting the campus, the Bildmuseet art museum, and the IKSU Sports Centre, further deepening their sense of community within EC2U.

This meeting in Umeå set the stage for continued collaboration as the Alliance moves forward with its ambitious goals.
