EDUC – the European Digital UniverCity – is an alliance of eight European universities shaping the university landscape of tomorrow: digital, connected, inclusive, and sustainable. The alliance brings together universities from seven countries – including the University of Potsdam – and creates a shared European space for education and research, benefiting students, academics, researchers, and staff alike.

Who We Are

EDUC connects the universities of Potsdam (Germany), Cagliari (Italy), Brno (Czech Republic), Pécs (Hungary), Paris-Nanterre (France), Rennes (France), Jaume I (Spain), and Southeast Norway. Together, they form a transformative alliance that transcends geographical, linguistic, and disciplinary boundaries. The focus lies on digitalisation, inclusion, mobility, and European cooperation.

Our Vision

EDUC is building an open, diverse, and digital university landscape – accessible to all: students, researchers, university staff, citizens, businesses, and civil society organisations. We see digitalisation as a catalyst for a fairer, more sustainable, and more interconnected European higher education area. EDUC promotes multilingualism, equal opportunities, cultural diversity, and accessible mobility – and thereby fosters an open European identity.

EDUC Pursues Five Strategic Goals:

1. The Integration of the European Higher Education Area

2. Europe-wide Barrier-free Studying

3. The Integration of all Students, Teachers, Researchers and Employees

4. The Promotion of a European Identity

5. Working Together on the Challenges of the 21st Century
