The Strategic Alliance for Regional Transition (STARS EU)
Is an alliance between nine complementary European universities to establish channels of collaboration in initiatives of different types, seeking to promote the exchange of ideas, people and innovation in both research and teaching innovation in the classic functions of the university is necessary in the face of a future of unprecedented social change.



Future generations
Preparing future generations for increasingly automated, digitalised and fluid labour markets implies reforming both educational models (through international exchange, challenge-based education, micro-credentials and other strategies) and research models, with collaboration as the driving force.
Objectives
In order to achieve these objectives, STARS-EU will focus its activities on seven Thematic Interest Groups (TIGs) and, in addition, develop a Co-Creation Ecosystem with several structures to proof, develop and experiment fresh ideas concerning studies, teaching and research.

Thematic Interest Groups (TIGs)
These priority areas are:
- Circular economy
- Digital transition
- Energy transition
- Healthy ageing
- Entrepreneurship and innovation
- Arts and creative industries
- Living Spaces

Each of these TIGs has a lead and a co-lead institution. The University of La Laguna leads the Energy Transition group and co-leads the Healthy Ageing group.
