European University alliances - opportunities for the region of North Rhine-Westphalia

EUN NRW Europatag 2024 To celebrate Europe Day 2024, ATHENA and the University of Siegen, together with eight other universities from the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, invite everyone to the event "European University alliances - Opportunities for NRW".

European University alliances are innovative partnerships between different universities and higher education institutions in Europe that pursue a common mission. The aim of the alliances is to strengthen international cooperation in the areas of teaching, research and innovation, to promote the international mobility of students and employees and to transform the European Higher Education Area through a new and future-proof form of collaboration. This also offers innovative and unprecedented opportunities for North Rhine-Westphalia, which will be presented and discussed at the event.

University management, researchers, university representatives, higher education experts, entrepreneurs and interested parties from the region are cordially invited to this event. The event offers a platform not only for expert discussions, but also for networking and the exchange of ideas.

Date, time: 15 May 2024, 16:00 - 20:00 CEST
Venue: Haus der Universität, Schadowplatz 14, 40212 Düsseldorf
