INGENIUM European University
Born in 2019 as part of the “European Universities” Initiative launched by the European Commission via the Erasmus+ program, this alliance brings together ten universities from ten European Union countries. The aim of the INGENIUM partners is to create an alliance of European universities with English-language higher education training programs, including teaching and research collaborations in the various fields of specialization, drawing on the strengths of the members to create synergies. The INGENIUM alliance can also be used to create a network for internships, study semesters and scientific collaboration, as well as to set up European projects in all the university’s areas of specialization.
