What
The EC2U Students Week is a truly European experience for students from across the EC2U Alliance. University of Jena students will interact with peers from Coimbra, Portugal; Salamanca, Spain; Poitiers, France; Pavia, Italy; Iasi, Romania, and Turku, Finland, for three days of cultural & sporting events and a United Nations COP simulation ("conference of the parts", i.e. a compact version of the Model United NationsExternal link).
The meeting language is English.
Why
The EC2U Students Week invites participants both to reflect on Europe together with their international peers and to take action. In this way, the goals of the EC2U Students Week are the goals of the EC2U Alliance itself.
University of Jena is one of seven Partner Universities of EC2U, one of the many European University Alliances now taking shape throughout the European Education Area. Together the Partner Universities are exploring and implementing new ways of sustainable, in-depth cooperation in studies, research and administration, both across national borders and with the cities they are located in.
