Last week, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research BMBF together with the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD published the list of German universities and colleges whose projects are funded in the program "European Universities (EUN) - national initiative" in the period from January 2021 to December 2023. The Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences (HWG LU) was able to convince with its project "European Innovation Alliance of Sustainability, Health and Digitalisation EuroInna" in the competition as the only university in Rhineland-Palatinate and as one of the few universities in the field of renowned universities.
"European University Networks (EUN) - national initiative" is the national accompanying program for German universities in the context of the EU pilot call "European Universities" and supports German universities in EU-funded consortia on their way to becoming "European Universities": The DAAD supports them in further developing their existing sustainable alliances, especially in teaching, the development of joint focus-specific research approaches and the "Third Mission" and helps to achieve the overall goal: a united and strong Europe with a new generation of Europeans.
HWG LU is in this effort in association with the University of Algarve in Portugal, the University of Huelva in Spain, Finland's Satakunta University of Applied Sciences and Tomas Bata University in Zlín, Czech Republic. "The national accompanying program enables us to implement the planned measures with our partners on a broader scale and to strengthen networking among ourselves, e.g. the development of joint teaching formats and joint study programs in the partner network, subject-specific oriented mobilities of students, lecturers and staff* as well as the intensification of cooperations," Prof. Dr. Edith Rüger-Muck, Vice President for International Affairs & Diversity, who initiated the application together with Kerstin Gallenstein, Head of International Affairs at the university, is pleased to announce. "The funding gives us the chance to further deepen the European idea together with the involved Erasmus partners and to help shape education in Europe ", says Gallenstein.
The project goals for 2021 are the implementation and continuation of joint scientific event formats on the project focal points of sustainability, health and digitization, taking into account the respective country-specific perspectives, and a regularly scheduled digital lecture, seminar and workshop offering in English for students of the entire partner network.
