The European University: Committed to bringing about social change

What is ENGAGE.EU?

ENGAGE.EU is an alliance of leading European higher education institutions from the fields of Economics and Business Administration as well as Social Sciences, dedicated to addressing the societal challenges of our time.

As a European University, we are committed to international exchange. The Online Exchange Initiative and the ENGAGE.EU Labs, for example, provide students with a wide range of virtual courses. Researchers can join our Think Tank to conduct research on socially relevant topics or, through ERASMUS+ funding, teach abroad and gain valuable experience.

The goals of ENGAGE.EU

ENGAGE.EU is committed to fostering societal change by addressing existing and emerging challenges such as digitalization, climate change, migration, energy crisis, and security in Europe. In doing so, we aim to develop solutions for a sustainable and positive future. We strive to empower our students to show social responsibility, act as European citizens engaged in social issues, and make an impact on society at large. All this is based on dedicated and effective research, teaching, and innovation ecosystems.
