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
The STARS EU Alliance of truly engaged Universities is building a future-oriented European University that will:
- Create a new generation of future-oriented students;
- Deliver innovative, flexible, diverse and challenge-based educational and research systems;
- Exploit the synergies of inter-regional collaboration; and
- Impact positively and substantially on sustainable regional and European development.
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.
