The Aristotle University belongs to the seven partners of the University of Freiburg which cooperate in the consortium „European Partnership for an Innovative Campus Unifying Regions“ (EPICUR). The European Commission has selected EPICUR as a European University. In the coming years, the consortium will jointly establish a European University that will develop joint activities in research and innovation in addition to teaching. It will receive funding of up to five million euros over the next three years to implement its projects.
