ECIU to pilot ground-breaking university model
The European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU) has been greenlighted by the EU to innovate higher education in Europe.
In a three-year pilot project, the ECIU universities will pioneer challenge-based instead of degree-based education on a European scale. The ECIU University will be open to students, researchers, industry and society at large, across borders. It will offer demand-driven, interdisciplinary and flexible education, tailored to the needs of society and students.
Furthermore, the challenges will focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goal for cities and communities. This means learners at ECIU University will be tackling real and important problems in society and help shape a better world.
