The 2026 Incubator Grant Call, the third and final round of ENLIGHT Incubator Grants, focused on developing joint study programmes and international educational initiatives that strengthen collaboration between our ten ENLIGHT universities.
The ENLIGHT European University Alliance has been awarded funding under the Erasmus+ Partnerships for Excellence: European Degree Exploratory Action call for its project JEDLAmP – Joint European Degree Label Launching and Amplification Project.
ENLIGHT was proud to participate in the 4th European Universities Initiative (EUI) Forum, hosted by the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union at Maynooth University on 10 July. The forum brought together university leaders, policymakers, European Commission representatives and members of the European Universities alliances to discuss the future of the initiative and the conditions needed for its long-term success.
The call for nominations for the ENLIGHT Impact Awards 2026 is now open, inviting ENLIGHT partner universities to nominate collaborative initiatives that demonstrate outstanding planning for, contribution to and achievement of societal impact.
This spring, the University of Göttingen welcomed students from across the ENLIGHT network for a Blended Intensive Programme on Artificial Intelligence for Forest and Landscape Remote Sensing. Over one intensive week, participants from Bordeaux, Bratislava, Groningen, Göttingen, and beyond came together to tackle a real research problem: detecting individual tree crowns in high-resolution aerial imagery.
How can universities and cities develop their collaborations to address complex societal challenges? This question was at the heart of the ENLIGHT Regional Academy event, co-created by Region Gotland and Uppsala University at Campus Gotland, where participants from across Europe gathered to explore how challenge-based collaboration and gamification can support sustainable regional development.
The ENLIGHT alliance is built on connecting universities, regions and wider society to address real-world challenges. A compelling example of this approach can be seen in the collaboration between Uppsala University, Region Gotland, and the wider ENLIGHT alliance network, where an existing regional initiative was transformed into an international platform for dialogue and collaboration.
