In­vit­a­tion: In­form­a­tion ses­sion on the European Uni­ver­sity Al­li­ance COL­OURS

Dear members of Paderborn University, dear colleagues, dear students,

As you have probably already heard, since January 2024, Paderborn University has been coordinating the European University Alliance COLOURS - one of currently 50 university alliances funded by the European Commission as part of the European University Initiative.

The so-called "European University Alliances" are regarded as "flagships" in the transformation process of European universities - and the coordination of such an alliance here in Paderborn offers an exciting opportunity for all of us – for students, researchers and administrative staff. With the support of our eight partner universities from France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Poland, Croatia, North Macedonia and Latvia, we have some interesting but also challenging years ahead of us. Together, we will develop innovative teaching and learning formats, create attractive mobility programmes for students and staff and work closely with non-university partners in nine European regions.

To give you a comprehensive insight into this "COLOURful Alliance" and the planned developments in Paderborn and in our partner countries, we cordially invite you to a get-together taking place on 18 July. The event offers the opportunity to meet the COLOURS team in person, find out more about the benefits of the COLOURS Alliance for you and your work, and discuss the "European idea" behind this Alliance and the local developments with other interested parties.

The event will take place in room B3.231. For organisational reasons, please register in advance.

Here is an overview of the most important information

Please forward this invitation to other interested parties.

We look forward to seeing you on 18 July!

Kind regards

Torsten Meier
