What is EULiST?
EULiST (European Universities Linking Society and Technology) is a strategic alliance of ten European universities, funded by the European University Alliances initiative, launched in 2017 by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme. Its primary objective is to contribute to the development of the European Education Area by 2025 through long-term collaboration in education, research, innovation, and societal engagement. The alliance fosters cross-border cooperation and enhances mobility for students, academic staff, and administrative personnel by offering joint courses, training programmes, and networking opportunities across Europe.
The European University of the Future
Rey Juan Carlos University in cooperation with 9 other leading Higher Education Institutions in the European Union, have initiated since 2020 the Alliance EULiST “European Universities Linking Society and Technology” that aims to be the central actor in a knowledge arena where education, research, innovation and society come together in the shared production of knowledge.
University of Universities
EULiST serves as an intermediary and generator of knowledge and innovation, empowering responsible change agents to solve the challenges humanity is facing, including climate change and the twin green and digital transition.
To this end, EULiST strives to generate a unique and creative EULiST Academic Ecosystem of sustainable development, exhibiting innovative techniques and providing access to hands-on experience and experiments, notably by digital and on-site EULiST demonstrators – all open to the public.
Inspired by the reciprocities between society and technology, this academic ecosystem will support inter- and transdisciplinary learning, research and outreach in the following facilities which support student participation and interaction with society.
