Europe
Lund University has many international partners in European countries, within both education and research. University-wide student exchange agreements, university-wide in-depth partner-ships and networks/alliances in which LU is involved create opportunities for long-term collaborations.
Global Dynamic Engagement (GDE) is an approach on which Lund University bases its work to strengthen and further develop its international impact regarding research, education and innovation. Democracy, academic freedom and taking responsibility are the cornerstones of this work.
GDE for Europe
In the roadmap for Europe for 2026, prioritised activities are presented for the university-wide work during the year but does not exclude other issues that may become relevant for prioritisation. This is in accordance with the method used for the platform for strategic work, which Lund University is working to regarding 2025–2027.
- Deepening and further developing collaboration with partner universities and other actors in the United Kingdom, based on already initiated efforts and with a focus on innovation
- Strengthening innovation-oriented collaboration with leading innovation ecosystems such as Copenhagen, Hamburg and Milan
- Using the LERU membership and European University Alliance work strategically for internal development and influence on EU policy, including the next multiannual financial framework, framework programmes and the European degree
