Following on from the EUTOPIA 2050 project, EUTOPIA MORE is proposed by the ten regionally and nationally diverse universities of the EUTOPIA Alliance as part of their overall ambition of institutional transformation guided by open, inclusive, and innovative principles. It involves their more than 255 000 students and 45 500 staff as direct beneficiaries of the project, as well as its network of local stakeholders and global partners. Convinced that the quickly evolving world, where the capacity to anticipate crises is limited, requires universities to transform themselves, EUTOPIA MORE catalyzes this process by creating the conditions to rethink the skills provided to students and staff; maximise the impact of their research within academia and beyond; and support initiatives around local-to-global societal challenges. The ambitions of EUTOPIA MORE are threefold: (i) through its core approach of “Global Connecting Communities”, it will create the conditions for communities to connect across campuses and disciplines that launch bottom-up projects tackling education, research or outreach challenges of global relevance; (ii) the education initiatives of EUTOPIA will allow us to showcase, within a future joint EUTOPIA College, the enriched curriculum of the Bachelor, Master and PhD programs together with the innovations coming out of life-long learning initiatives; (iii) it will connect our initiatives in research, innovation and outreach geared towards tackling the big societal challenges of today, and integrating our academic communities within the future EUTOPIA Global Institute of knowledge communities, involving local to global partners. EUTOPIA MORE will also pave the way for the development of shared and distributed support services, a strong yet flexible governance structure and a new legal statute for the EUTOPIA Alliance, ensuring the sustainability of the initiatives over the long run.
