Linking Science and Society – Leibniz University Hannover intends to take up this challenge in cooperation with nine strong partner universities in Europe. The alliance EULiST – European Universities Linking Society and Technology aims to manifest the European experience for all students and university members.
Together with our EULiST partners, we intend to make our vision of a European University a reality – through cooperation in the context of studies, research and administration. Strong partners and close networks ensure our future viability in international competition.

Background information
When was EULiST established?
Leibniz University Hannover and seven leading higher education institutions initiated the alliance EULiST – European Universities Linking Society and Technology in 2020. EULiST brings together ten partners with complementing strengths in technical subjects, humanities and social sciences. Through joint and integrated approaches in social sciences, natural sciences and engineering, we aim to develop new sustainable solutions to major social challenges that we face today and in the future. To achieve this goal, complementary educational opportunities as well as an inter-university campus will be developed in order to bring together teaching staff, students and researchers as well as to promote mobility.
The alliance is currently in the development phase. In different work packages, connecting factors will be identified and ideas will be exchanged in order to establish innovative interdisciplinary fields of action. Please feel free to contribute your ideas!
What are European Universities?
In 2018, the European Commission launched the European Universities initiative in order to modernise higher education in Europe in a comprehensive and sustainable manner. Objectives of the initiative include:
- Fostering and strengthening the European idea
- Promoting the performance and competitiveness of the European higher education system by significantly increasing and improving the quality, performance and appeal of universities in Europe
- Bringing together a new generation of Europeans to promote shared values and a European identity.
Objectives
Overall objectives of EULiST include:
- Educating multilingual, socially responsible European citizens, bridging the gap between science and society and bringing them closer together
- Building an analogue and virtual European inter-university EULiST campus with a strong culture of diversity, inclusion and sustainability
- Developing innovative, flexible and interactive teaching formats and curricula integrating cutting-edge research closely and sustainably
- Establishing international teams consisting of students, researchers and regional partners in order to develop sustainable solutions to current social challenges in transnational, interdisciplinary constellations across sectors
- Building a knowledge and transfer network for collaboration between the involved regions as science locations in order to promote knowledge-oriented research and innovation as well as evidence-based politics.
Initial thematic synergies and key areas have already been identified in the following five Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations:
- SDG 4 - High-quality education
- SDG 7 - Affordable and clean energy
- SDG 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructure
- SDG 11 - Sustainable cities and communities
- SDG 13 - Climate action
However, this does not rule out cooperation and joint activities in other thematic fields.
