The mission of the Applied, Connected, Entrepreneurial and Engaged European University (ACE2-EU) is to equip our students, staff, researchers, and external stakeholders with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to collectively address future challenges. Addressing these challenges, including the twin digital and green transitions and socio-economic issues, will deliver sustainable societal
transformation, benefiting not only our regions and the EU, but society in general.

To fulfil our mission, we employ our distinctive ACE2-EU approach, collaborating with external stakeholders to create joint learning opportunities and activities that engage all mission areas of our universities. We embrace challenge-based and work-based methodologies in partnership with external stakeholders to develop flexible and innovative educational, research, innovation, and service to society learning opportunities. These are crafted by multidisciplinary European knowledge creation teams comprising students, staff, researchers, and stakeholders.

Our European inter-university campus is dedicated to a common vision and shared values, incorporating an inclusive student-centred joint governance and management structure, and a shared pool of resources that includes staff and operational units.

Key operational units and systems include our: APP Factory which develops joint student-centred, challenge-based learning opportunities, including short programmes and full degrees; ARIES Incubator focused on stimulating and creating joint research & innovation activities, nurturing entrepreneurship, and supporting the development of our research community; SPACE Centre which co-creates joint service to society activities and promotes cultural awareness; and our e-Campus digital platform. In living our mission, we will foster and promote the core European Union values and objectives, including multiculturalism and multilingualism, thereby strengthening European identity across our alliance.

The principal aim of our common vision, ambition, and associated long-term joint strategy in the context of the European Universities Initiative and the European Universities strategy is to establish a European higher education inter-university campus which has the potential to transform the capacity and quality of institutional cooperation between ACE2-EU member institutions and bring it to the next level, fostering deeper integration, enhancing collaboration, and increasing our overall impact and influence within the European higher education landscape. Our inter-university campus will become a legally recognised European University with European and global reach, reputation, and impact focussed on “Addressing Future Challenges and Delivering Sustainable Societal Transformation Today”.
