The European Commission supports the continuity of EELISA’s pioneering path

BME is a founding member of the EELISA association established in 2020. Now, this unique network won support to continue with the next phase of the cooperation.

EELISA has been selected under the 2023 Erasmus+ European Universities Call with funding of 14.400.000 € and a total budget of over 21.000.000 €.

With an expanded scope, size, diversity, and ambition, in this new phase, EELISA aims to deepen collaboration in line with the six dimensions of the European Education Area: quality, inclusion and gender, green and digital transitions, teachers and trainers, higher education, and the geopolitical dimension.

Dale A. Martin, president of EELISA, highlighted: "During the past three years, we have created a strong alliance of engineering universities in Europe, with thousands of students and teachers joining our EELISA programmes. Going forward, we continue to act as an interface between science, technology and society, contributing to ecological and digital transitions in Europe. The strategic goal of this new phase is to transform education and training into challenge-based learning and to further strengthen the innovative educational ecosystem, built around research and innovation."

As reflected in the EELISA 2.0 mission statement, in the new period “engineering will remain the core strength of EELISA but will be integrated into a global, interdisciplinary strategy that encourages cross-learning of methods and best practices”.

The Alliance also seeks to contribute to the consolidation of the European Research Area and its vision of creating a unified and unrestricted market for research, innovation, and technology across the European Union.

In the next years, EELISA will further advance the long-term vision of the European Universities Initiative to transform institutional cooperation among higher education institutions through long-term structural, strategic, and sustainable collaboration.
