Researching and teaching together, exchanging ideas and shaping the Europe of tomorrow -
that's EC2UExternal link: an alliance of eight European universities from eight countries. From 19 - 22 May 2025, students and staff from these eight partners will come together in Coimbra, Portugal, to take a look ahead. Be part of it!
We are looking for interested students from all faculties and semesters who would like to meet people with similar interests from all over Europe, discuss with them, do sports, discover the city and establish contacts. 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 during the "Student Challenge":
Students are grouped into small teams, where they collaborate with a mentor on a chosen topic both virtually before the forum and in person during the event. At the end of the week, they present their findings in a session called "Voice of Students."
The topics are:
- Renewable and affordable energy solutions
- How to cope with eco-anxiety?
- Ideas for sustainable and clean city transportation
- Make everyone aware of their role to help the earth – the role of arts, media and communication
- Creating green spaces for students to combat sustainability challenges
Another very special highlight will be the EC2U Science Contest on 21 May.
