  3. Networking and continuing education for early career researchers
  4. Staff Exchange, inter-university dialog and intercultural advanced training
  5. Student engagement

Internationalization of the University of Basel

By participating in two European university alliances, Eucor & EPICUR, the University of Basel aims to increase the international component of its offerings, add value for employees and students, and boost Basel’s international standing as a place to study and research.

Eucor – The European Campus is a trinational alliance of five universities in the Upper Rhine metropolitan region. Its members are the University of Freiburg and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, the University of Strasbourg and the University of Haute-Alsace (Mulhouse - Colmar) in France, and the University of Basel in Switzerland.

EPICUR, the European University Alliance, includes nine universities in seven European countries. In addition to the Eucor universities (with the exception of the University of Basel), its members are the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland), the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), the University of Southern Denmark in Odense (Denmark), the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna (Austria) and the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands). Eucor is an official associate partner of EPICUR. This allows the University of Basel to conduct projects with EPICUR partner universities. The University of Basel is able to support these projects with funds from the Swiss Federal Council.

Applications

Projects can be submitted at any time by sending the application form to eucor-epicur@unibas.ch. Applications are evaluated in the order in which they are received. Funding is possible as long as funds remain available.
