“KROK” University has joined the consortium of “UP University” within the European University Initiative as an associate partner. The coordinator, Artevelde UAS has submitted its UP University proposal to the EUI 2024 call, together with 9 other universities and universities of applied sciences.

Founded in 2021, UP University is an alliance of 10 universities and universities of applied sciences strategically uniting 125.000 students and 10.000 staff members among the four corners of Europe.

The consortium mission is to empower individuals, igniting a spark within them to instigate positive transformations not only in their regions but also far beyond. We believe in the transformative potential of active citizens who drive regional innovation, shaping a future that is not just sustainable but also inclusive.

Our focus extends to crucial areas, including health and wellbeing (SDG3), sustainable communities (SDG11) and responsible production and consumption (SDG 12). Strengthened collaborations between the partners, intensifying institutional integration of the consortium, and partnerships with other EUI consortia have encouraged the consortium to seek formal recognition and funding in the 2024 European University Initiative call.

As Ukraine gained EU membership candidate status, for “KROK” University being the part of alliance of other EU HEIs is the sign of strong support and commitment.

We are grateful for such a unique opportunity!
