E³UDRES²

Engaged and Entrepreneurial European University as Driver for European Smart Sustainable Regions

E³UDRES² is committed to challenge-based education, mission oriented-research and human-centered research as well as open and engaged knowledge exchange as interrelated core areas. The members will co-ideate new concepts and  approaches, co-create  new  knowledge,  provide  good  practice and  share  experience  on  their  sound  integration within  I-Living-Labs  for  future  universities  in  smart  and  sustainable  regions.

E³UDRES² follows the idea “From Europe – For Europe” by developing European solutions to regional problems in a globally connected world and therefore pools knowledge, core competences and skills and shares resources of six higher education institutions.
