The EPICUR Hubs are virtual centres for research-oriented learning, training and networking across the EPICUR European University Alliance. Tailored for Master’s students and Early Career Researchers (ECRs), the Hubs aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, support innovative research and prepare participants for diverse academic and non-academic careers.
Each Hub focuses on a key societal challenge, including:
- Sustainable Transformation
- European Values
- Global Health
- Future Intelligence
These thematic areas are supported by transversal skills training to prepare participants for diverse careers in and beyond academia.
