The European Digital UniverCity (EDUC) — the alliance of eight European universities led by the University of Potsdam in Germany, which this year has been joined by the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón — will receive funding from the European Commission for another four years, the Commission has announced. EDUC is one of 17 pilot university partnerships funded by the EU from 2019. The amount of funding for the eight partners is €12.8 million over four years.

The universities of Potsdam (coordinator); Paris Nanterre and Rennes 1 (France); Degli Studi de Cagliari (Italy); Masaryk (Czech Republic); Pécs (Hungary); UJI (Spain) and South-Eastern Norway (Norway) have received confirmation of the new EU funding for the university partnership. They will thus build on the successes of the pilot phase and deepen their cooperation in the field of innovative mobility scenarios and internationalisation of curricula.

The rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, expressed her satisfaction with the European Commission's financial support for the EDUC university consortium. "Our aim is to design a framework of preferential and stable collaboration with the EDUC universities in our missions of education, research, innovation and service to society in order to become a truly European university", she stressed. In this sense, Alcón highlighted the wisdom of joining this European alliance of universities that "will allow us to deepen the European vocation of a university like the UJI, which understands Europe as the natural space for work and university relations".

In the short term, the eight universities intend to continue developing their joint virtual campus, linking research and innovation with teaching through problem-based projects, promoting the exchange and continuous training of their scientific and administrative staff, and strengthening networks in society.

Overall, the alliance has some 200,000 student members and 31,000 faculty, research, technical and administrative staff. By 2027, EDUC will be a new type of transnational university community, based on the priorities of multilingualism, inclusiveness, interdisciplinarity and digital technologies, which will optimally prepare its students for the challenges of the future.
