Empowering Youth: Building Responsible European Citizens
The EDUC Youth Integration Lab is dedicated to empowering adolescents and young adults, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to become active and responsible European citizens. We aim to raise awareness of their rights, provide democratic participation training, and combat discrimination based on age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or economic background.
Collaborating with civil society actors, academics, students, and local associations, we create a platform for young people to be heard and take action against discrimination in various contexts, such as education, work, neighborhoods, and social media.
A Diverse Educational Landscape
Our alliance is built on diversity. With partner universities in urban areas of varying sizes and compositions, we cater to a wide spectrum of learners, including lifelong, part-time, and non-traditional students. Our goal is to be inclusive, offering a multitude of qualifications and opportunities.
Societal Outreach: Strengthening European Values
The EDUC Societal Outreach Action Plan seeks to strengthen European values of inclusion, diversity, and equality. We collaborate with society to solve real-world problems, integrate teaching and research with citizen involvement, and facilitate knowledge transfer between universities, businesses, and civic, social, and cultural institutions. Our initiatives also aim to enhance science communication and citizen science.

EDUCation meets Research: The EDUC European University adventure
With “EDUCation meets Research: The EDUC European University adventure”, we introduce you to the captivating world of research, in the unique frame of a European University Alliance.
A researcher’s career is incredibly rich and diverse, yet often unknown. We aim to share insights of what being a researcher means, especially in the context of the internationalisation of universities and the stronger connection that is being built between education and research.
EDUC – the European Digital UniverCity, is an alliance of eight European universities, among which the University of Rennes. The EDUC alliance aims at creating a new era of education and research that extends beyond our borders and connects us with the world.
Through this alliance, the University of Rennes creates a dynamic space for learning, imparting knowledge, and collaborative work. The alliance brings together not only students and researchers but also administrative staff, offering new education and career opportunities for its members.
Are you ready to embark on a journey that unveils exciting educational opportunities and introduces you to the diverse paths of a researcher’s career? We invite you to join us for a dynamic evening at “EDUCation meets Research: The EDUC European University adventure”.
