ECIU
European Consortium of Innovative Universities
ECIU is an alliance of 14 universities united by a joint goal to make an impact. Here, learners, teachers, and researchers work with cities, communities, and businesses to solve real-life challenges – and foster change.
The ECIU University is the first European university where learners, teachers and researchers cooperate with cities and businesses to solve real-life challenges.
Together, ECIU will create, test and evaluate a whole new educational pedagogy. This will help to focus all the university activities from education, research, administration and support through to innovation and valorisation.
