ECIU University brings together students, researchers, companies and social actors across organizational boundaries. Last year, EU provided € 5 million in funding over three years to develop ECIU University. The aim is to develop a new university concept based on demand-driven, international and flexible research and education. ECIU University is investing in flexible, interdisciplinary education tailored to the needs of both society and students. ECIU University focuses on UN's Sustainable Development Goals, and students address the real challenges facing society.
