FOREU4ALL, an initiative of the European University Alliances, provides a collaborative and supportive platform where all 65 alliances come together to share best practices, exchange experiences, and strengthen cooperation.

The community fosters a deeper collaboration by facilitating learning, joint initiatives, and the dissemination of results – enhancing knowledge, skills, and effectiveness of the entire higher education sector.

In addition to the alliances, FOREU4ALL engages key stakeholders to take part in the governance, several topical groups and policy learning labs to enrich discussions and decision-making.

FOREU4ALL promotes sustainable cooperation with the wider higher education ecosystem, including associations, networks, student organisations, and other higher education key actors. Through proactive engagement with European, national, and regional policy makers, FOREU4ALL also ensures a strong voice for European alliances to engage in policy dialogue for the benefit of the whole higher education sector.

As key representatives of the European Education Area and the European Research Area, European Universities Alliances are at the forefront of driving innovative concepts for deep transnational institutional cooperation. These initiatives hold the potential to foster long-lasting transformation of European higher education as a whole.

Through FOREU4ALL, all European University alliances come together to form a Community of Practice that promotes the exchange of best practices and experiences among the 65 alliances. This collaboration also ensures that valuable insights are transferable to the wider higher education sector and other higher education institutions. In this way, the initiative establishes a unique, large-scale network of European Higher Education Institutions committed to advancing innovation in Europe's higher education landscape. Additionally, the project has the capacity to amplify the strengths of individual alliances and their partners.

FOREU4ALL represents the next phase in the development, consolidation, and expansion of the informal Forum of European Universities (FOR-EU), which has been operational since the start of the European Universities Initiative. With a proven track record of engaging over 200 coordinators and managers, as well as a successful joint advocacy at European level, the Community of Practice within FOREU4ALL builds upon this collaborative history and ensures that all alliances continue to be in a position to collaborate and engage meaningfully.

We also aim to share learnings with all types of higher education institutions across Europe and beyond. While university alliances are at the heart of our work, our mission extends far beyond. Outreach is key: our goal is to engage not only those directly involved, but also the broader university community by creating meaningful connections and raising awareness of the opportunities these alliances bring.
