European Universities are transnational alliances promoting European values and identity, and revolutionising the quality and competitiveness of European higher education. There have been two rounds of the funding call. There are now a total of 41 European University alliances involving 279 higher education institutions from EU Member States and other countries participating in Erasmus+.

Oxford has joined NeurotechEu the first of these to be specifically targeted at Neuroscience. Cutting edge Neuroscience has great promise to deliver brain-centred or brain-inspired solutions that could benefit the society and kindle a new economy in Europe. The European University of Brain and Technology – NeurotechEU aims to be the backbone of this new vision.

Neurotech EU lead Professor Tansu Celikel, Radboud University, will explore: the background to the project, how it will benefit the partners and how Oxford can remain a partner in Europe despite the UK leaving the EU.
