"I am delighted that EULiST was able to convince in this competitive selection process and that the joint efforts are now being rewarded. I thank all those involved for their commitment. The intensive work has paid off, and EULiST will be taking off in autumn," says Vice Rector Kurt Matyas.

The overall goals of EULIST are:

  • To educate multilingual, socially responsible European citizens who build and strengthen bridges between science and society.
  • Build an analog and virtual European inter-university EULIST campus with a strong culture of diversity, inclusion, and sustainability
  • Develop innovative, flexible and interactive teaching formats and curricula with close and sustained integration of cutting-edge research
  • Establishment of cross-border teams of students, scientists and regional stakeholders that develop sustainable solutions to current societal challenges in transnational, cross-disciplinary and cross-sector constellations
  • Establishing a collaborative knowledge and transfer network between the participating regions as science locations to promote knowledge-based research, innovation and evidence-based policy making.

Initial thematic synergies and focus areas have already been identified under the following four United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

  • SDG 4 - Quality Education
  • SDG 7 - Affordable and clean energy
  • SDG 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructure
  • SDG 11- Sustainable cities and communities 
  • SDG 13 - Climate Action

However, these by no means exclude cooperation and joint activities in other thematic areas.
