Babeș-Bolyai University (UBB) from Romenia is now a member of the EUTOPIA alliance. The official membership was signed during EUTOPIA Week, the semestrial event, held in person in Barcelona from 22 to 26 November, in which NOVA is participating with a delegation led by the Rector, Professor João Sàágua.
With its adhesion, and that of the Ca Foscari of Venice, Dresden University of Technology and NOVA University Lisbon last September, the expansion of members of the consortium – which reaches 10 members - has been completed.
This meta-university will thus be present in 10 countries and will unite ten universities and their cities. Barcelona, Lisbon, Paris, Brussels, Gothenburg, Venice, Dresden, Ljubljana, Coventry and Cluj-Napoca. Overall, more than 300,000 students, 45,000 professors and administrators, 1,000 research groups and tens of thousands of alumni, as well as hundreds of collaborating institutions and companies. Thus, the alliance strengthens its scale of exchanges, collaborations, mobility and shared projects.
EUTOPIA’s mission is to shape a unique and daring alliance of transformative institutions that are committed in the long term. Students, researchers and administrative staff are working together to build a new academic model, reflecting an open and united Europe that respects its citizens and the environment.
EUTOPIA European University joins University of Babeș-Bolyai in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Pompeu Fabra University-Barcelona (Spain), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium), CY Cergy Paris University (France), Technische Universität Dresden (Germany), University of Gothenburg (Sweden), NOVA University Lisbon (Portugal), University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), Ca’Foscari University of Venice (Italy) and University of Warwick (United Kingdom).
