Ulysseus joint vision for 2030 is to have developed an excellency-recognized, internationally attractive, open to the world, persons-centred and entrepreneurial European University for the citizens of the future. The Ulysseus alliance integrates eight diverse universities, solidly rooted in their localities, sharing common objectives and long-lasting successful cooperation. From the North to the South, from the oldest to the youngest, from comprehensive to specialized business and technical universities, from established, research-based universities to experts in entrepreneurship and academic innovation, this diversity and common goals is Ulysseus core strength to accurately create a dynamic and versatile European University. Aligned with the European Strategy for Universities and the New European Innovation Agenda, the general objective of this proposal is to develop step 2 (2024-2027) for consolidating programmes and structures, including a joint work plan of activities adding two new full partners to the alliance. Ulysseus will consolidate its digital and territorial campus for bridging education, research and innovation, while creating an inclusive community and reinforce its strategy for embedded mobility and international cooperation. Constructed upon our more than 150 associated partners, representing the quintuple helix, Ulysseus model of university involves the development of the Ulysseus Innovation Ecosystem, taken at a European Level. Understanding our alliance as an Innovation Ecosystem, developing solutions for specific R&I challenges from eight Innovation Hubs, is Ulysseus unique and distinguishing feature. The Innovation Hubs are the Ulysseus innovative joint structure for the co-creation by the helix of Ulysseus interlinked education, research and innovation for the service of society.
