ChallengeEU Alliance Participates in High-Level Brussels Meeting on the Future of European Universities
The ChallengeEU Alliance proudly took part in the high-level event “Shaping the Future: European Universities Alliances for a Competitive Europe”, held this week in Brussels. The event brought together representatives from all 65 European University Alliances, along with Seal of Excellence holders, Members of the European Parliament, national and regional EU authorities, leading higher education stakeholders, student associations, and private-sector innovators. In a closed session dedicated to university leadership, the ChallengeEU Alliance was represented by Prof. Anne Najderek, Managing Director of ChallengeEU, and Prof. Stephan Trahasch, Rector of Hochschule Offenburg. The meeting serves as a platform to reflect on the progress of the European Universities Initiative, identify ongoing challenges, and explore strategies for its long-term success. Discussions also focus on the role of university alliances in strengthening Europe’s sustainable growth, global competitiveness, democratic resilience, and social justice. Participation in this forum is a valuable opportunity for ChallengeEU to exchange experiences, gain insights, and build lasting partnerships with other European alliances.
