Welcome to EC2U!

Willkommen! Tervetuloa! Bine ați venit! Bienvenue ! Benvenuti! Bienvenidos! Bem-vindo! Welcome!

We are an exciting and vibrant alliance bringing eight universities from across the European Union together. Imagine a place where cultures merge, languages interact, and innovation transcends borders. That's the EC2U!

Picture this: The University of Coimbra in Portugal, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi in Romania, the University of Jena in Germany, the University of Pavia in Italy, the University of Poitiers in France (our coordinator), the University of Salamanca in Spain, the University of Turku in Finland, and us, the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria, all part of one dynamic community! We all share common values such as promoting diversity, democracy and advancing humanity

Why should you be impressed? Well, we're not just an alliance; we're a family of over 160,000 students, 20,000 employees, and we touch the lives of over 1.6 million citizens. Those are not just numbers; this is a network of opportunities, friendships, and new experiences waiting for you!

Our goal? We aim to create an innovative space in which you can move freely between our eight partner universities and the vibrant cities they call home. Forget about all of the stereotypes, and embrace a united Europe that is stronger together! At EC2U, we're not just breaking barriers; we're building bridges.

But here's the deal: We want the best, and that's where you come in. We're looking for passionate people interested in making a difference in the world. You are not just a student or an employee; you have a vision, are a leader, thinker, and change-maker . EC2U is an alliance competing on a global stage, and we are here to build the future and recruit the best: people like you!

So, are you ready to be a part of something bigger? Join the EC2U, a space where diversity meets opportunity, and innovation knows no bounds. Let's build the future together!
