YUFE (Young Universities for the Future of Europe) is an alliance of 10 young, research-oriented universities and 2 non-academic partners that aim to reshape the European higher education area. YUFE’s goal is to establish a model of a young, student-oriented, non-elitist, open, and inclusive European University. As a unique ecosystem that aims to connect universities with communities, YUFE is based on the cooperation of higher education institutions and the public and private sectors and citizens across Europe.
YUFE promotes active European citizenship within the common European space. Within YUFE, the academic community, citizens, businessmen, and policy makers join forces to solve European (and global) challenges. Precisely for this reason, YUFE recognizes the importance of each individual in the society and includes them in its activities.
In July 2022, the European Commission granted YUFE the opportunity and funds for further shaping a true European University. With an incredible score of 92/100, YUFE continues to be among the best initiatives of European Universities!
About YUFE

I saw YUFE as an opportunity to have a diverse academic background. It was the perfect opportunity to really interact with peers all over Europe and embrace the international-relations lifestyle.
