Since 2018, four different Erasmus+ calls have been launched to support the creation of European universities. To date, 50 alliances have been formed under the European University Initiative, bringing together more than 430 higher education institutions, including 51 French institutions, from 35 different countries. This latest call will fund a further 12 to 14 European universities, reaching the target of 60 alliances supported by the Commission.
