A record of 35 European Universities alliances, nearly double the participation from 2024, came together at the Conference and Exhibition EAIE 2025 in Gothenburg, showcasing the strength of European collaboration in higher education. The event increased visibility for the alliances, fostered meaningful connections with partners within and beyond Europe, and reinforced a shared commitment to working together for higher education institutions across the continent.

United through the European Universities Initiative, a flagship programme of the European Commission launched in 2019, and strengthened by the FOREU4ALL Community of Practice, a total of 73 alliances are actively co-developing the future of higher education. Together, they are building a competitive, innovative, and inclusive ecosystem where excellence in education, science, and research can thrive.

FOREU4All is about fostering international collaboration, promoting the European University alliances’ community rooted in European values, and collectively achieving impactful outcomes that enhance the global appeal of European Higher Education, and beyond.

Together, we started the project in November 1, 2024 and it includes a community of 64 European University alliances that is open, adaptable, and dedicated to serving society—driving positive change and fostering innovation.

This launch event was the opportunity to:

• Discuss the ambitions of the project and expectations from the European Commission and External Advisory Board Members.
• Collaborate with partners committed to shaping the future of European Higher Education.
• Open a call for topical groups in order to build a strong community of practice.
• Engage with experts driving policy dialogue
• Advance a shared communication and dissemination strategy
