Six universities from Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Poland and Portugal have approved in Brussels today the constitution of CURE Alliance, a university consortium that promotes intelligent, sustainable and inclusive territorial cohesion in its regions of influence through training, research and innovation.

The Universitat Jaume I (Spain) is coordinating this consortium, which is made up of five other higher education institutions: the Marche Polytechnic University (Italy); the University of Limoges (France); the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (Portugal); the Gdansk University of Technology (Poland) and the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences (Germany).

The public signature held in the European capital was attended by the Rector of the Universitat Jaume I (UJI), Eva Alcón; the Rector of the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, António Fontainhas; the Rector of the University of Limoges, Alain Celerier; the Rector of the Gdansk University of Technology, Krzysztof Wilde; the Vice-President of Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, Raoul Zöllner, and the Vice-Rector of the Marche Politecnic University, Marco D'Orazio. This agreement will serve to intensify cooperation between the partners in order to generate a new model of transnational university.

The Rector of the UJI stressed that the six universities “are allied in this consortium promoted from Castelló to strengthen their commitment to the territory and their contribution to regional development through knowledge and innovation”. The partner universities will face five major challenges shared by all these regions: digital transformation, sustainable growth, multilingualism and cultural integration, balance between globalisation and local identity, and social inclusion.

Alcón said that the CURE Alliance “will provide a competitive advantage to partner universities through institutional collaboration, interaction with the business community and connection with civil society”. The collaboration will result in the development of a joint project that will facilitate mobility between the six regions, the organisation of innovative and complementary activities in the fields of knowledge generation and transfer, support for entrepreneurship, and the promotion of innovation and professional integration.

The CURE Alliance is created with the aim of turning partner universities into key agents for local development with a European projection that respond to the challenge of globalisation. The six universities that make up the CURE Alliance are characterised by a strong commitment to their territories, with a significant impact on local economies and the problems common to Europe's non-core regions.

This European consortium will enable universities to maximise their contribution to the socio-economic transformation of their surrounding territories thanks to the possibilities offered by international cooperation within the framework of the CURE Alliance in areas such as training, research, knowledge transfer, entrepreneurship and employability of graduates.
