EU4DUAL’s vision is to form the world’s largest dual education institution where academia, the industry and the regions work together to ensure a top-quality educational offer for the students involved. Nine European higher education institutions (universities and universities of applied sciences) and 35 associated industry partners are currently participating the project.
By implementing new and flexible learning pathways for dual education, including two joint master programs and one joint dual doctorate program, EU4DUAL strives to equip its students with the necessary skills to tackle three of the Grand Challenges facing Europe in the future.
The three Grand Challenges that EU4DUAL focus on are:
- future of work
- green economy
- healthy living
EU4DUAL will establish a joint micro-credential portal offering courses to students and researchers from all partner institutions. Additionally, the partner institutions will collaborate on research projects related to the three Grand Challenges. A further key goal is to provide mobility experiences for at least 50% of our students and staff members.
