Associated Partners

The EC2U Associated Partners are entities and organizations that collaborate with the EC2U - European Campus of City-Universities Alliance to strengthen the connection between universities and local communities. These partners include public institutions, hospitals and healthcare centers, cultural and social associations, businesses, and local enterprises. This synergy creates a dynamic ecosystem in which universities and local stakeholders work together to address global challenges through concrete local solutions.

These are community-connected entities that actively contribute to the social, cultural, and economic development of the partner cities. Through the Alliance, they collaborate with EC2U universities and cities on research projects, educational initiatives, and training programs. They also provide opportunities for internships, traineeships, and fieldwork, fostering the transfer of knowledge and academic innovations into society.
