Researching and teaching together, exchanging ideas and shaping the Europe of tomorrow - this is EC2U External link: an alliance of seven European universities from seven countries. From 16-19 October 2023, students and staff from these seven partners will come together in Poitiers, France, to look back and forward. Be part of it!

We are looking for interested students from all faculties and semesters who are keen to meet peers from all over Europe, discuss with them, play sports, discover the city and network in the process. At the same time, you will be helping to shape the future of Europe: EC2U invites you to bring your perspectives, insights and ideas to the Alliance at the Voice of Students session.

A  highlight will also be the final of the EC2U Science BattleExternal link on 18 October. The winners of 2021 and 2022 - Pavia and Jena - will compete in an exciting final. We need you to support us: cheer the Jena team on to victory!
