JEAN MONNET UNIVERSITY SAINT-ÉTIENNE AFFILIATES WITH THE EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY TRANSFORM4EUROPE

During its executive board meeting on November 9, 2022, in Saarbrücken (Germany), the European University Transform4Europe formalized its affiliation with Jean Monnet University Saint-Étienne (UJM) which joined the consortium as a full member, alongside the Catholic University of Portugal, and the University of Primorska in Slovenia. Mariupol State University in Ukraine is also hosted as an associated institution.

By joining Transform4Europe, UJM affirms its European perspective, paving the way for new sustainable cooperation in training and research.

Transform4Europe, part of the second wave of European universities labeled in 2020, initially brought together 7 members:

• Saarland University in Germany (coordinating institution),
• Silesia University in Katowice (Poland),
• Alicante University (Spain),
• Trieste University (Italy),
• Sofia University "St.  Kliment Ohridski" (Bulgaria),
• Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas (Lithuania)
• and The Estonian Academy of Arts in Tallinn (Estonia).

The expansion of Transform4Europe is a result of European Commission’s fourth call for proposals to support European university alliances. The project, which has been submitted in January 2023 by the Transform4Europe consortium, aims at integrating new establishments, but moreover, introducing a new organization and increasing collaboration between members with shared objectives.
