The Arqus European University Alliance brings together the universities of Granada, Graz, Leipzig, Lyon 1, Maynooth, Minho, Padua, Vilnius and Wroclaw, nine longstanding prestigious universities who share the conviction that European cooperation is essential to the global future of their institutions as well as to enhance societal contributions from their students and staff. Together, Arqus partners are building an innovative and inclusive approach to education, research and innovation while promoting multilingualism and entrepreneurship. Thus, Arqus aims to better respond to the grand challenges of the 21st century in Europe and beyond.
Isn't this just wonderful, such a great ode to the power of international networks, arts and culture, in the middle of the pandemic! The fact that this recording has almost most views in the Arqus youtube channel is not a sign of lack of interest towards academic issues, but mainly demonstrates that we are all human and there is an evident need to connect emotionally and not only in a cognitive sense. Personally previously part of a university choir in Finland, I adored this video.#EUAs
