The UNWE and the Universities of the European Alliance ENGAGE.EU Received New Funding of 14.4 Million Euros from the European Commission

Today the European Commission announced that the ENGAGE.EU Alliance, of which the UNWE is also part, will be funded with an additional €14.4 million to further develop cooperation and mobility between the nine partner universities. In addition to the grant from the European Commission, each university will contribute to the total budget of €18 million planned for the next period /2023-2027/.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mihail Musov, Vice Rector for Research and International Affairs and ENGAGE.EU Coordinator for UNWE, added: "The European University Alliances are drivers of the change in higher education and research in Europe. Being part of such an alliance is a privilege but also a great responsibility. Due to the support of the Ministry of Education and Science the efforts of our academic community and administrative structures the UNWE has been an equal strategic partner in ENGAGE.EU for already three years. The efforts are worth because the added value is for everyone - for the students, for the lecturers and employees, and for the society as a whole. Let's wish each other new success!"

By the additional funding provided by ENGAGE.EU, Ramon Llull University in Barcelona and the Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki will officially join the Alliance. They have been participating in the collaboration since May 2022 but with the renewed funding they will become full members of the ENGAGE.EU Alliance.
