“European Universities alliances have the potential to become powerful bridges between education, research, innovation, industry, and regions. This partnership with EIT RawMaterials reflects EUNICE Alliance ambition to actively contribute to Europe’s strategic resilience and competitiveness.”
This agreement reinforces EUNICE’s commitment to be an active contributing actor in Europe’s green and digital transition by connecting education, research, innovation, and industry. It also strengthens the Alliance’s engagement with major European innovation ecosystems, supporting the development of a new generation of highly skilled professionals capable of addressing strategic industrial and societal challenges.
