Eucor – The European Campus
Eucor – The European Campus is a confederation of the universities of Basel, Freiburg, Strasbourg, the University of Haute-Alsace, and the KIT, forming a tri-national higher education network that currently hosts 115,000 students and 15,000 researchers. The aim of this cooperation is to combine the strengths of each university in common research projects and give the students free access to the range of courses offered by the other universities. It is planned to expand the confederation into a research and science network with an international appeal to facilitate joint appointments, common staff, and joint applications for funding and to intensify the establishment of integrated study programs. Eucor – The European Campus builds on a long-standing cooperation of the Upper Rhine universities: In 1989, they joined forces to form a cross-border network under the name of Eucor.
