InclusU: the values we share

The members of InclusU share the same values and long-term vision. They have gathered to invent a new model of university, more European, more inclusive and better equipped to address the challenges of the 21st century, by developing innovative governance, learning and teaching activities, research and engagement.

"Together, we dare to stand for inclusiveness and are committed to providing high-quality education to the widest range of individuals, inside and outside the walls of our universities, and for preparing graduates to be social and economic innovators and constructive, critical citizens. We believe that there is a need to best exploit the potential of digital technologies for more innovative teaching and learning and wider access to internationalisation. We believe that a university of the 21st century is not merely  a workforce development organisation, nor an isolated centre of knowledge production, but is a social and civic institution based on scientific inquiry that is woven into the fabric of its socioeconomic environment. We are united by our commitment to our local communities and to European societies, as well as by our interaction with the ever-changing global environment"
