New strategic partnership: U4 and Tartu prepare for European University application

The U4 universities (Ghent University, the University Göttingen, the University of Groningen and Uppsala University) have joined forces with the University of Tartu to prepare an application for the European University project announced by the EU to strengthen Erasmus+ activities.

U4 was founded in 2008 and has become a well-established and sustainable network, covering a wide variety of cooperation initiatives in different forms and fields. A distinctive aspect of U4 is the intensive and structural cooperation at the level of the university management and the student bodies. Within this dimension, the four universities pool expertise and resources to initiate innovative processes and reach out to societal challenges.

In order to further complement the network and strengthen its ambitions, the U4 has deliberately chosen to take the University of Tartu on board for the European University project as a fifth partner university. Together with Tartu, the U4 Network wants to be recognized as a European University in the frame of the EU initiative.
