The European University Alliance ChallengeEU recently held its Strategy Board Meeting in Valencia, hosted by the Universidad Europea de Valencia, bringing together university leadership and student representatives to discuss the alliance’s strategic priorities for the coming years.

The meeting focused on key challenges currently shaping the future of European higher education, including demographic change, the need to attract and circulate talent across Europe, the responsible use of artificial intelligence, evolving geopolitical dynamics, increasingly multicultural student communities, and the growing need to balance openness with competitiveness—a central tension for many European University Alliances today.

ChallengeEU continues to position itself as a dynamic alliance committed to innovation and transformation in teaching and learning, while maintaining strong connections to its regional ecosystems.

As a long-standing supporter of the alliance, city2science contributes to ChallengeEU’s strategic development and supports its mission to strengthen collaboration, transformation, and impact across Europe.
