Objective
EU GREEN’s four-year strategic objective is the creation of a European hub for education, research, and innovation in sustainability that goes beyond the consortium’s borders and acts globally to provide solutions to local or regional challenges, which can be replicated at a global level.
The hub will be designed to tackle the challenges arising from globalization, especially for communities who are most vulnerable to them (for geographical, economic, political reasons), either within or outside the EU borders. Protecting and boosting EU values (inclusion, democracy, peace, etc.), by making them stronger and more widespread will, in turn, strengthen the EU’s capacity to weather outside shocks, making it more resilient at its core.
It will focus on peripheral regions such as those where the nine members of EU GREEN are located. For this, EU GREEN will rely on a shared space, not only virtual but also physical, where education, training, research and/or innovation activities developed by Alliance members (as well as third-party HEIs) will be shared.
In addition, the EU GREEN pedagogical activity will be available virtually through an “EU GREEN European Virtual University” platform, fostering inclusion and access to quality European education for citizens from all over the world. This major objective comprises five underlying axes of activity: education, research, innovation, service to society, and European values.
