RUN-EU (Regional University Network – European University)

RUN-EU brings together seven higher education institutions from six European countries, all committed to a common vision. Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, RUN-EU aims to create a common European university to innovate and shape future higher education, promote physical and virtual exchanges and develop intensive cooperation between regional RUN-EU partners. In all its endeavours, the university will embody the values of sustainability, multiculturalism, and inclusiveness.

Unlimited study

Over the next few years, future students of the university will experience a Europe-wide networked university campus. The network aims to create unrestricted mobility for students and faculty, academic staff and other employees as well as interregional European innovation centres that promote joint research activities with industry. In addition, student-centred and flexible European PhD degrees will be on offer.

On both the short and long-term study programmes, you will have the opportunity to work together with students from all over Europe, focusing on real-life societal issues. 

The seven partners in the RUN-EU network are:

• Polytechnic of Leiria - Portugal (Leiria and West Region)
• Polytechnic of Cavado and Ave (IPCA) - Portugal (Northern Region)
• Technical University of the Shannon - Ireland (Midlands West)
• NHL Stenden - Holland (Friesland Province)
• HAMK - Finland (Southern Region)
• Széchenyi István University (SZE) - Hungary (North-West Region)
• FH Vorarlberg - Austria (Vorarlberg)

Being a RUN-EU student is so much more than just studying. It’s the places you go, the friends you make and the skills you acquire. It’s a truly unique university life experience.

Short Advanced Programmes

Imagine you could study interdisciplinary learning units at more than one European university at a time and gain ECTS credits to include in your diploma.

These are the RUN-EU’s Short Advanced Programmes (SAPs). Ranging in duration from one to eight weeks, they combine on-campus activities with useful online sessions.

All degree students seeking advanced re-skilling and up-skilling in a multicultural environment can join a RUN-EU SAP – whether you’re studying part-time or full-time.

Students on international scholarships (Stipendium Hungaricum, Diaspora, Student at Risk) are not eligible for funding.
