ENLIGHT, an alliance of European universities, received support from the European Commission under its European Universities initiative. The initiative is a part of the Erasmus+ program and aims to support the emergence of “European universities” by 2024. These "Super-universities" will enable students to obtain higher education/degrees by combining courses in several EU Member States. ENLIGHT is currently envisaged to operate for 3 years but the goal is to prolong its functioning for 4 more years.
10 UNIVERSITIES, 1 ENLIGHT
ENLIGHT unites ten universities from ten European countries across the whole of Europe: University of Ghent (Belgium), University of Bordeaux (France), University of Uppsala (Sweden), University of Groningen (Netherlands), University of the Basque Country (Spain), University of Göttingen (Germany), the National University of Ireland in Galway, the University of Tartu (Estonia) and Comenius University Bratislava. The University of Bern (Switzerland) will be part of ENLIGHT as associated partner from 1st November 2023. The Alliance plans to engage actively with the cities and regions of its members as important Associated Partners of the network.
COOPERATION WITHOUT BARRIERS
The ENLIGHT Super-university will facilitate free movement of students and staff among its nine partner institutions. It will also make it possible to share resources, structures of quality assurance, international outreach and global engagement, talent recruitment and investment in joint research infrastructure. The Alliance was set up to help build the foundations of an integrated European system of higher education. The long-term vision is to establish ENLIGHT as an integrated European University System with no barriers for learning, teaching and cooperating by 2030. In February 2022, Erasmus + Multilateral Agreement was signed between all the partners of the Alliance.

- University of Ghent (Belgium)
