EU grant for university research for the future (EU4TRANSITION)

9 November 2020

The University of Humanistic Studies is participating in a European study of a new type of university, in which philosophy of life and ecology are central. The project is called EU4TRANSITION: European University for Transition, and is funded by the European Union.

This European research project, led by Prof. Cécile Renouard, centres on a new type of university (the university of the future) where life philosophy and ecology are core themes. The goal is to stimulate interdisciplinary research and education, with theory and practice closely intertwined. The project aims to develop a holistic and humanistic curriculum for transition universities in Europe. The modules will also be offered as extramural training programmes to volunteers, professionals, managers and policy makers. 

Fernando Suárez Müller of the University of Humanistic Studies is responsible for the conceptual studies  into the life-philosophical aspects of the transition university.
