EUTOPIA Launches the Third Round of 10 New Connected Communities

On April 23, 2025, the EUTOPIA partner universities, represented by the highest authorities in Education, Research and/or Internationalisation, selected the third round of ten new Connected Communities (CCs) covering diverse thematics: 

• Democratic Citizenship in Post-Truth Societies
• Reverse Engineering and Digital Imaging: from Cultural Heritage to Material Culture
• Innovations for Sustainable Construction (I4SC)
• BioMArCHER: Biomineralization in Medicine, Archaeology, and Cultural Heritage
• Age-friendly Community 5.0
• SEEDS for Tomorrow: Supporting Education, Employability, and Development of PhD candidateS
• Connected Community for Digital Initiatives (DigIn)
• United Minds: A Connected Approach to Trauma, Resilience and Mental Health
• Law, The Final Frontier: Legal Challenges and Solutions for Mobile Individuals and a Changing World of Work
• HoPE Nexus: a Habitat of Planetary Ecologies for Sustainable Futures 

The Integrated Connected Communities are the building blocks of the EUTOPIA approach for empowering knowledge in EUTOPIA MORE, inspired by the outcomes of the Connected Learning Communities (CLC) and Connected Research Communities (CRC). Aligned with the EUTOPIA alliance vision on openness, they aim to bridge the typical divides that still characterise academia: Connecting academia and society, Teaching and Research in cross-campus formats, and Inclusion.
 
Led by permanent staff members in one of the alliance universities who are willing and motivated to reach out to partners/colleagues working on similar topics in the EUTOPIA alliance, they aim to strengthen existing good practices in challenge-based learning and research by creating inter-university connectedness and cooperating in cross-campus knowledge activities.

More details to come on each CC (stay tuned for their web pages for further updates!).
