The international Master's Degree in European Languages, Cultures, and Societies in Contact is based on a collaborative educational framework designed by seven European universities (University of Coimbra, University of Iași, University of Jena, University of Pavia, University of Poitiers, University of Salamanca, and University of Turku) within the EC2U (European Campus of City-Universities) project.

EC2U is a pilot project of the European Universities Initiative (EU) aimed at promoting higher education in Europe by establishing a European macro-campus. The consortium of the seven universities is known as the EC2U Alliance. This Master's program aims to train experts in European languages, cultures, and societies who will work in intercultural communication and international relations, preparing future professionals for managing linguistic, cultural, and social diversity in the European environment.

The high level of linguistic competence in two European languages required for admission allows the program to focus not on language acquisition, which is a prerequisite, but on deepening interdisciplinary knowledge and skills. This includes:

• Linguistic and communicative competence aimed at understanding and producing written and oral texts for international communication and in multilingual and multicultural contexts.
• Digital, technological, and IT skills for managing texts across various media.
• Understanding the cultural and socio-economic landscape of the studied language areas.
• Basic competencies in computational text analysis for the study and understanding of linguistic, cultural, and social phenomena.
