European University Alliances 2022: 22 UNICA members in 10 alliances set to continue receiving support from Erasmus+
27 July 2022 | From UNICA - European Universities
The European Commission has announced the results of the 2022 call for the European Universities initiative, revealing that a total of 20 European Universities were selected for financing. 16 of those are existing European Universities that will continue to receive support, out of which 10 include at least one UNICA member university. The other 4 European Universities selected in this call are completely new alliances.
These numbers mean that UNICA is represented in over 60% of the existing alliances that will receive further funding and in 50% of the overall selected alliances in this call. The 10 European Universities in which UNICA is represented include a total of 22 UNICA member universities, with CIVIS 2 leading with six UNICA universities among its partners.
A total of 44 European Universities now involve 340 higher education institutions in capital cities and remote regions of 31 countries, including all EU Member States and Iceland, Norway, Serbia, and Turkey. The selected alliances in the 2022 call will be entitled to a record budget of €272 million from Erasmus+.
A novelty under the 2022 Erasmus+ call is that the alliances can now accept associated partners from Bologna Process countries, including for example from Ukraine, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
