The 4th EC2U (European Campus of City-Universities) Forum will take place on 4-7 April and will be hosted by the University of Pavia.
Every six months, the Alliance organises the EC2U Forum to gather students, staff, citizens, local and regional authorities to foster open dialogue on pressing issues in society and to share good practices.
After a successful first live edition hosted by the University of Salamanca in October 2021, the University of Pavia will welcome the EC2U community for few days of conferences, workshops and debates. The Forum in Pavia will be free of charge, open to all, and will combine virtual and face-to-face events.
The event will start with closed working meetings, and will then be open to the general public on 6-7 April, offering exchanges and active participation of participants on digital education, sustainability, microcredentials, Research & Innovation, etc. The Forum also includes specific activities targeted to students, like sports events, podcasts ; debates, encouraging their involvement in the development of the Alliance.

About the EC2U Alliance
EC2U is a multi-cultural and multi-lingual European Universities Alliance formed by the University of Poitiers (as coordinator), the University of Coimbra, the University Alexandru Ioan Cuza of Iasi, the University of Salamanca, the University of Pavia, Friedrich Schiller University of Jena and the University of Turku. Its ambition is to develop an open and innovative space allowing seamless mobility among the universities and cities, thus overcoming clichéd views of regional and national identities. The Alliance is based on a unique cooperation between universities and cities, involving academic communities, municipalities, regional authorities, socio-economic actors and citizens. EC2U will promote and unprecedented challenge-based global initiative that leans on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
