About FOREU4ALL

FOREU4ALL brings together all 73 European University Alliances to share best practices and strengthen cooperation across the higher education sector. It also engages key stakeholders and policymakers to give European alliances a strong voice in policy dialogue.

Building on the Forum of European Universities (FOR-EU), active since the start of the European Universities Initiative, FOREU4ALL now extends this collaborative network to the wider higher education community across Europe and beyond.
