About EUC Voices
EUC Voices is an Erasmus+ project empowering students across European University Alliances to play a leading role in shaping the future of European higher education, by taking part in decision-making and strengthening a shared European identity.
It grew out of the European Universities Community, a grassroots initiative born within the Conference on the Future of Europe (2021-2022).
Overview
Programme: Erasmus+ KA220-HED – Cooperation Partnerships in Higher Education
Funded by: the European Commission, since 2023
Coordinator: Université Grenoble Alpes (Unite!)
Partners: 8 institutions from 7 countries, representing several European University Alliances
EPICUR’s role: Organisation of ESA (European Student Assembly) until 2024
Three flagship initiatives
European Student Assembly (ESA): an annual spring event at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, bringing together 250+ students from EUAs to debate key European issues, draft policy recommendations and advocate for them
Ambassadors Forum: bringing together one student per alliance to deal with EUA-related challenges
EUC Alumni Network: a community of alumni contributing to the design and long-term sustainability of these initiatives
