Get to know us

At STARS EU ALLIANCE we conceive universities as essential engines of regional development and forgers of the transformative knowledge that society, industry and the productive sectors need to be able to move forward. Our purpose transcends education: we empower students and professionals to be agents of change who actively contribute to the social, economic and cultural improvement of their environment.

The nine universities that make up the STARS EU ALLIANCE share a common identity that fosters unity without losing autonomy or the capacity for innovation. This synergy is what drives us to go further and faster to create co-creation spaces, physical and virtual, where academics, students, companies and regional agents dialogue, innovate and build together a fairer and more sustainable future.

Our vision is bold: we want to be the benchmark for the European University and we aspire to transform university cooperation and turn it into an accelerator of regional development, strengthening ties with key industries and sectors. We want to train a new generation through innovative, flexible and challenge-based education and research systems, so that they are able to lead a world in constant evolution. 

Our universities open the doors to a dynamic, sustainable and responsible future from a critical perspective and a solid foundation. Because we are inspired by the European University model, we make collaboration our greatest strength. We are committed to universities without walls, open to the exchange of ideas, people and resources, and we are resolutely committed to academic excellence, cutting-edge research and innovation at the service of society. 

At STARS EU ALLIANCE we believe in challenge-based education, an inclusive approach, social responsibility and sustainability as fundamental pillars to achieve a positive and lasting impact. That is why we work tirelessly for a more egalitarian world, where freedom of thought and academic mobility are accessible realities for all. 

We combine talent, creativity and commitment to transform our regions and the entire world. Together, we are building the future.

Transforming regions.
Empowering people.
