UCC moves closer to developing 'pan-European university' with seven other institutions

The goal is to give students, staff, and researchers "seamless" mobility, either physical, virtual, or blended, at cooperating partner institutions.

UCC and Cork city are currently working on the project with universities and city authorities in Finland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Turkey, and Croatia.

Cork is one step closer to a “pan-European university” where students, staff and researchers can study, train or work seamlessly across shared campuses and services spanning eight European countries.

University College Cork (UCC) has been awarded almost €445,000 from the Higher Education Authority (HEA) for its work in developing a new model of European education. Since 2020, UCC has been working with seven other universities to develop the European University of Post-Industrial Cities (UNIC).
