EPICUR

What is a European University?

Beyond the regional consortium – Eucor – as of 2019, the University of Freiburg is also a member of the European University Alliance EPICUR.

Students, researchers, teachers and employees of the University of Freiburg can experience the vision of a European University as part of these two strong European alliances through (virtual) exchange, cross-border collaboration and innovative learning and teaching formats.

What is EPICUR?

EPICUR (European Partnership for an Innovative Campus Unifying Regions) is a new European University Alliance aiming to make the vision of an interdisciplinary, diverse and sustainable European university come true. EPICUR faces complex challenges and aims to reinforce Europe-wide cooperation.
