Emerge - European Margins Engaging for Regional and Global Empowerment

EMERGE is a European University Alliance connecting nine universities across eight countries. Fab Labs).

Together we strengthen education, research, mobility, and community engagement in regions located at the geographical margins of Europe. Our vision

The EMERGE Alliance will digitally pool the educational, research and innovation resources and infrastructures of the nine partner universities from which students, teachers, researchers and adult learners across the Alliance can seamlessly benefit. T

he ultimate goal is to create an inter-university campus where students, teachers, researchers and adult learners can access degree courses, professional development, research training, other research groups, micro-credentials and technical expertise from any university in the Alliance, magnifying the opportunities to study, research and advance their careers through physical and blended mobilities and virtual learning. We will also empower students at bachelor’s, master’s and PhD levels to customise their own curricula. The pooling of resources and infrastructures will enable the development of new interdisciplinary and innovative learning and teaching formats, teams and activities and facilitate knowledge co-creation, including a challenge-based approach. Students will have greater opportunities to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and strengthen their civic engagement. To facilitate this, the EMERGE partners will build deepened connections with our local ecosystems, notably though the use of third spaces for co-creation (e.g. Our teachers, researchers and university staff will benefit from a joint Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programme to empower them to drive the new innovative EMERGE campus. Realising this goal will require going beyond simply sharing educational and research resources. EMERGE partners will gradually align management, institutional policies, practices and technical capabilities to create a common educational space. Setting-up a sustainable governance framework that is agile, transparent and efficient will support this goal with a step-by-step approach. Our mission

This project was created with the purpose of giving our students and staff the opportunity to experience all that Europe has to offer in terms of know-how, expertise, talent, perspective and energy. And through this to help them realize what they, their territory and their country can gain by opening up and cooperating at the continental level.

Happy Europe Day!

EMERGE is glad to share its commitment to Europe by inviting you to watch its new promotional video *Discovering EMERGE* produced by the University Rennes 2’s audiovisual department, which showcases the Alliance’s partner campuses and the richness of this European cooperation.

Our nine universities are located in regions that reflect the remarkable diversity of Europe in geographic, social, economic and linguistic terms. Mirroring their locations, EMERGE higher education and research institutions are characterised by a greater focus on societal and territorial priorities. Indeed, united by a common aim to empower peripheral territories and marginalised groups, the partner universities are developing various activities together with a more socially conscious approach to teaching and research.

Our student ambassadors are back from Strasbourg and the experience spoke for itself. 🇪🇺

From April 20 to 22, four EMERGE students travelled to Strasbourg to take part in the European Student Assembly 2026 (ESA 2026), joining young people from across the continent for three days of meaningful debate, interdisciplinary exchange, and civic engagement at the European Parliament.

Representing the EMERGE alliance across four different panels, Olga Maletsika (Neapolis University Pafos), Simon Petit (University of Limerick), Philippine Guillon (Université Rennes 2), and Ioanna Nefeli Arseniou (Democritus University of Thrace) brought their unique backgrounds and perspectives to discussions on democracy, multilingualism, civic participation, and pan-European cooperation.

This is exactly what EMERGE is about: students from Europe's regions stepping into European spaces, making their voices heard, and coming back transformed.

Well done to all four of you. We could not be prouder.
