Knowledge and Creativity (KreativEU) European University Alliance awarded a substantial grant of €14,400,000.00 by the European Commission as part of the 2024 European Universities competition.

The KreativEU Alliance comprises the following higher education institutions:

Portugal: Polytechnic University of Tomar (Chair)

Bulgaria: Dimitar A. Tsenov Academy of Economics – Svishtov

Czechia: University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice

Germany: University of Greifswald

Italy: University of Camerino

Netherlands: Breda University of Applied Sciences

Poland: Opole University of Technology

Romania: Valahia University of Targoviste

Slovakia: Trnava University in Trnava

Sweden: Södertörn University

Turkey: Adana Alparslan Türkeş University of Science and Technology

Together with other international universities, municipalities, museums, and cultural and heritage institutions, these eleven universities have committed to establishing a truly European University that harnesses the creative potential of Europe’s rich cultural heritage at the core of its teaching, research, and knowledge transfer activities.

The KreativEU consortium is dedicated to long-term institutional, structural, and strategic cooperation. This collaboration aims to transform the study of culture, identity, memory, and heritage to benefit society. By building on a strong foundation, KreativEU will develop innovative concepts, methods, and solutions to address current and future challenges, contributing to a sustainable and harmonious future for communities and the environment.

KreativEU recognizes the profound interconnection of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, as well as the intertwined nature of local and national traditions, crafts, cultural practices, and folklore. The alliance is committed to formulating cutting-edge educational and research programs that reevaluate these elements and their ecological contexts, especially in the digital age. This ecocultural vision is the guiding principle of KreativEU, ensuring the education of a new generation of EU citizens who will work together across cultures, borders, languages, sectors, and disciplines as leaders of change and enablers of societal transformation.

To achieve this vision, the KreativEU Alliance will implement eight comprehensive work packages:

WP1 – Governance and Management

WP2 – KreativEU Education

WP3 – KreativEU Research

WP4 – KreativEU Culture with and for Society

WP5 – KreativEU Knowledge-Creation and Design Network on Smart Sustainability

WP6 – KreativEU Heritage European Campus

WP7 – KreativEU Mobility

WP8 – Communication and Dissemination

This ambitious and inclusive vision for KreativEU will ensure that students are not only well-educated but also prepared to lead and transform society.
