  • Official Communiqué
    1 (1) Official Communiqué Communiqué on the submission of a proposal for a pilot Alliance of European Universities by the EC2U consortium The “European Campus of City-Universities, EC2U” consortium is proud to announce that its proposal has been submitted on 27 February 2019, following the call for proposals for pilot Alliances of European Universities, published on 24 October 2018 by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency of the European Commission. The EC2U proposal is the result of one year and a half of intense joint work culminating in the formal establishment of the EC2U alliance through the MoU signed by the Rectors of the University of Coimbra, of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, of the University of Pavia, of the University of Poitiers (Coordinator), of the University of Salamanca and of the University of Turku: the EC2U Alliance is a community of 160 000 students and staff, in direct reach to more than 1 500 000 citizens. EC2U is a multi-cultural and multi-lingual Alliance consisting of six long-standing, education- and research-led, locally and globally engaged universities from four diverse regions of the European Union. The Alliance’s ambition is to develop an innovative space allowing mobility to flow freely between the six universities and associated cities. This model of openness will contribute to overcome clichéd views of regional and national identities and achieve a united and stronger Europe. The Alliance will reach this ambition by creating a pan-European campus, connected by the common European identity, contributing to the creation of a smart higher education eco-system through a new model of quality education for an inclusive civic society.

  • The University of Turku in 2030
    Mauno Koivisto lecture Research on Finnish Society 13 (2020), pp. 41–46 The transformational potential of universities in a turbulent world: The University of Turku in 2030 Jukka Kola Introduction The University of Turku celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, 2020. Moreover, the university history and traditions in Turku started already in 1640. The City of Turku is the oldest university city in Finland. Consequently, we have solid and sound background and cornerstones for our University to set new goals— and to achieve them—in our scientific work and lifelong learning in the next century, too. Sudden changes, however, may take place, as occurred this year. The COVID-19 pandemic appeared and negatively affected many organisations, communities and societies, worldwide and here in Turku and Finland. The pandemic has also hampered in many ways our 100th anniversary year and its festivities. However, we were very lucky to be able to run the main festive events at the very end of February, just before the pandemic broke out in March also in Finland. The resilience and ability to recover from severe difficulties is the key to a successful future for any organisation, community and society. Universities especially are and have to be such organisations and communities of high resilience and good ability to recover and, very importantly, that can also help others recover and succeed. Universities provide us all with new, reliable scientific research results and educate new specialists to deal with current and future problems and phenomena. Moreover, their task is not only to deal with problems, but also to solve them in order to make Finland and world a better place to live and work, for all of us.

    Culture & History - Discovering Spain Historic Universities in Spain Friday, 4 December, 2015 Paradores Parador de Alcalá de Henares Parador de Carmona Parador de El Saler Parador de Granada Parador de Lorca Parador de Salamanca Parador de Santiago de Compostela Did you know that Spain is one of the countries with more historic Universities? Some of the most impressive and old Universities have been built in Spain. Education has always been an important issue for society and so it was in Spain. Let’s learn a bit more about which are the historic Universities of Spain near our Paradores. University of Salamanca This is the oldest University in Spain that is still actively working and it is also the 5th oldest University in Europe! Its construction is dated back in the year 1218, and it was one of the medieval Universities with a higher work rate. Its academic model was even introduced in almost every other University in Spain in the XIX century. The city of Salamanca has been from that time on considered one of the symbolic university cities of Spain. This University is also famous for one of the beautiful façades in which there is a hidden frog on top of a skull. Everyone stares there trying to find it! Walk around this great city of Salamanca and stay at our Parador de Salamanca, to discover the magnificence of its University. Book now at Parador de Salamanca University of Alcalá de Henares This University was stablished in the city of Alcalá de Henares and it was opened in the year 1499.
