test Shaping the future of higher education requires both bold ambition and a sustainable foundation. This perspective guided the ChallengeEU delegation during the 4th European Universities Initiative Forum, held on 10 July 2026 in County Kildare, Ireland, under the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

The forum brought together representatives of the European higher education and research sectors, as well as institutions responsible for shaping public policy to take stock of the progress of the European Universities Initiative and discuss its future direction. The programme focused on the future of European University Alliances, with particular attention to sustainable investment, governance and policy frameworks that can support deep and lasting collaboration in education, research and innovation.

The ChallengeEU delegation included Managing Director Tobias Hagen from Hochschule Offenburg, Paulo Nuno Vieira from Universidade Europeia, who serves on the Management Board, and External Advisory Board members Enora Bennetot Pruvot from the European University Association and Ana Rita Dias from the European Association for International Education.
