Luiss University, alongside leading European universities in business, economics and the social sciences, has formed the ENGAGE.EU alliance to provide European citizens with the set of skills and competencies needed to tackle societal challenges such as digitalization and artificial intelligence, climate change and sustainability.
ENGAGE.EU is a consortium of seven universities sharing European values and a global outlook: the University of Mannheim, NHH Norwegian School of Economics, Tilburg University, the University of National and World Economy, University Toulouse 1 Capitole, and WU Vienna University of Economics and Business. Each university brings its unique perspective, shaped by its areas of specialization as well as its geographical and economic context.
The aim is to enable its students to act as socially engaged European citizens and to have an impact on society at large. Building on a solid foundation in the social sciences, the alliance is forged by a comprehensive approach, following three interconnected paths: Engaged Learning, Engaged Research and Innovation and Engaged in Society.
In research, among other things, a think tank is intended to enrich the structural cooperation between researchers, learners and other alliance actors. Lastly, ENGAGE.EU Labs enable universities to exchange ideas with stakeholders from civil society and business and open up space for innovations.
ENGAGE.EU represents a unique opportunity to educate and inspire a new generation of citizens that will contribute to making Europe a global reference point in understanding the best way to respond to societal challenges.
