JoinEUI

JoinEUI is a European research and policy initiative associated with the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence. The project investigates the concept of a joint European University, with a focus on governance, funding models, curriculum design, mobility schemes, and quality assurance across higher education.

Its aim is to inform policy discussions, support pilot activities, and foster collaboration among universities, research centers, and stakeholders across Europe. The initiative seeks to identify practical pathways for creating shared programs and administrative structures that could underpin a more integrated European higher education space.

Key activities include comparative studies of cross-border higher education, case studies of existing joint programs, policy analysis, and the organization of workshops, seminars, and conferences. JoinEUI also produces reports, policy briefs, and practical guidelines intended for university leadership, funding bodies, and policymakers.

The initiative operates through a network of partner institutions in Europe, coordinating joint research efforts, shared curricula pilots, and exchanges to explore feasible models for a unified European higher education landscape. Its work contributes to the broader debate on the European University Initiative and informs ongoing discussions about cooperation, innovation, and mobility within the European Union’s higher education system.
