“Towards a joint European Degree: Perspectives from across the ECIU Alliance” on 29–30 September 2026 in Lodz

We are currently standing at the threshold of significant changes in European higher education. Over the past several months, intensive discussions on the future of the European Degree have been taking place across Europe, while the ECIU Alliance has become actively involved in not one, but two projects dedicated to developing and testing pilot solutions related to the European Degree initiative.

In this context, we would like to create a space for reflection and discussion on where the ECIU Alliance currently stands in this evolving landscape and what directions may shape our future activities.

The event will bring together representatives of higher education institutions and other stakeholders interested in the development of joint educational opportunities. The conference will focus on current approaches to joint and double degrees, examples of flexible learning pathways, as well as recent developments related to the European Degree initiative.

The programme will combine different formats, including keynote presentations, short case-based talks showcasing institutional experiences, and panel discussions. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in a dedicated session focused on practical aspects of implementing the European Degree Label, including identifying challenges, sharing solutions, and collaboratively working on operational approaches.

We hope the conference will provide a valuable space for exchange, reflection, and networking. We would also appreciate it if you could share this information with colleagues from your institution who might be interested in this topic.

The programme and registration link will be shared soon on Conference "Towards a joint European Degree" | ECIU - Politechnika Łódzka

Guests interested in participating in the event as panellists are kindly invited to get in touch with our ECIU Office team at eciuoffice@adm.p.lodz.pl. We look forward to hearing from you!

This conference is carried out by Lodz University of Technology under the European Universities Support Programme, financed from European Union funds as part of the project “Support for European Universities Alliances,” project number FERS.01.05-IP.08-0219/23.
