The European university alliance EULiST – European Universities Linking Society and Technology is a network of ten partner universities with the goal of fostering connections between society and technology.
Objectives
EULiST an der LUH
In 2020, our university initiated the European university alliance EULiST. LUH has coordinated the EU-funded project since 2023. We are therefore one of only 11 German universities that currently head this type of alliance.
-
Innovative study and mobility programmes
Our nine partner universities are networked across Europe together with us. This makes joint study programmes and innovative mobility formats such as EULiST CONNECT possible at LUH.
-
Development of hybrid teaching formats
Innovative hybrid teaching and learning formats in optics and photonics are being established within EULiST to strengthen international competitiveness.
-
Integration in bachelor’s and master's degree programmes
Integration into existing degree programmes as well as the development of double degree programmes are taking place as part of EULiST:
- Renewable Energy and Electrical Power Engineering (M.Sc.) – LUT and LUH
- Sustainable Engineering (M.Sc.) – LUT and LUH
- Logic and Computation (M.Sc) – TU Vienna and LUH
- Joint Degrees RealMaths and MathMods (M.Sc) – UnivaQ and LUH
-
Internationalisation and languages
Currently, 14 of 48 master's degree programmes are offered in English. An additional 13 have English-language tracks (including EULiST joint/double degrees). The number of English-language programmes will be doubled by 2030. This effort will be supported by the establishment of an EULiST Language Centre.
-
Central research infrastructure
The central academic facilities and coordinated joint device use via the research information system enable optimal use of resources for LUH members and EULiST partners, which sustainably increases research capacity.
-
Future Labs – City and Energy
Future Lab – City: Local and international research on cities with EULiST partner cities (Vienna, Athens, Madrid, Bratislava) as comparative laboratories.
Future Lab – Energy: Strong foundation in teaching, including the Sustainable Engineering double degree with LUT and integration in bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes.
Become part of EULiST!
EULiST offers various benefits to all members, together with opportunities to take part.
-
Benefits for students
Innovative teaching and learning methods such as challenge-based learning, blended intensive programmes, summer schools and much more enable students to benefit from a variety of teaching approaches and technologies through collaboration with other universities.
- Blended intensive programmes (BIPs): virtual teaching concept for short stays abroad with financial support
Flexibility and mobility: The opportunity to attend courses offered at different universities and take part in virtual mobility programmes makes it possible for students to structure their university studies individually and obtain international experience.
- Semester abroad (can be funded through Erasmus+)
- Stays for study and research purposes (bachelor’s and master’s students, doctoral candidates)
- Language tandems (through the Leibniz Language Centre)
Practical training: Close cooperation with industry partners ensures that students acquire practical skills and can prepare for a successful career.
Participation in the Student Board: Within EULiST, students play an important role both in the alliance and in project management. The Student Board advocates for the interests and needs of students, and its members are represented in all of the key EULiST governance bodies. It is therefore also part of EULiST’s top-level strategy-development and decision-making committees.
