The European University alliance ENGAGE.EU is delighted to welcome two new partners: Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki and Ramon Llull University, Barcelona. This expansion aligns with the core values of ENGAGE.EU – to provide European citizens with the set of skills and competences needed to tackle major societal challenges.
Through the joining of two new partner institutions, the alliance will be enriched by a broader geographical spread, new collaboration possibilities for teaching and researching, as well as providing an even more exciting offer to its student community. ENGAGE.EU partner institutions will continue to put their joint research and teaching efforts into providing solutions and guidance addressing existing and new challenges such as climate change, ageing societies, migration, and digitalisation. Hanken School of Economics and Ramon Llull University will strengthen and widen the endeavour to make an impact and find solutions to these
Hanken School of Economics has a long tradition as a leading university in economics and business administration. Joining ENGAGE.EU will further strengthen Hanken’s international focus: it already attracts researchers and students from all over Europe and the world. The university is research driven and prides itself in strong connections to the business industry. This practical approach aligns with ENGAGE.EU’s vision of societal outreach and collaboration with industry partners.
