Mobility
The University of Pavia has been a member of the “European Campus of City-Universities-EC2U” Alliance since 2017.
Funded by the European Commission during the second pilot call, the project officially started on November 1, 2020.
EC2U is an Alliance that brings together ten historic and multidisciplinary universities (Coimbra, Iași, Jena, Linz, Lviv, Pavia, Poitiers - coordinator, Salamanca, Turku, Umeå), all of which share a strong international outlook while maintaining deep local roots, making them true city-universities. Among the associated partners are the seven municipalities, along with other socio-economic stakeholders such as technology hubs, student associations, and chambers of commerce.
The Alliance aims to create a truly pan-European campus by establishing a shared governance model, exponentially increasing mobility within the seven academic communities, and developing innovative models in education, research, and third mission activities.
Three United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) serve as key reference points:
- SDG3: Good Health and Well-being
- SDG4: Quality Education
- SDG11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
These goals will guide the actions of the first three years of the project, including the establishment of joint Master’s programs and Virtual Institutes.
