ENLIGHT
ENLIGHT at CU
ENLIGHT, an alliance of European universities, received support from the European Commission under its European Universities initiative. The initiative is a part of the Erasmus+ program and aims to support the emergence of “European universities” by 2024. These "Super-universities" will enable students to obtain higher education/degrees by combining courses in several EU Member States. ENLIGHT is currently envisaged to operate for 3 years but the goal is to prolong its functioning for 4 more years.
Comenius University Bratislava is a member of ENLIGHT, an alliance of 10 European universities, which together build one great “European university”. It is a really unique opportunity for students to study in a truly international environment. The biggest advantage is a simpler administration and recognition of credits between partner universities. From 1st of November 2023, the University of Bern is a part of the alliance as an associate partner.
The Alliance plans to engage actively with the cities and regions of its members as important Associated Partners of the network.
The ENLIGHT Super-University will facilitate free movement of students and staff among its nine partner institutions. It will also make it possible to share resources, structures of quality assurance, international outreach and global engagement, talent recruitment and investment in joint research infrastructure. The Alliance was set up to help build the foundations of an integrated European system of higher education. The long-term vision is to establish ENLIGHT as an integrated European University System with no barriers for learning, teaching and cooperating by 2030. In February 2022, Erasmus + Multilateral Agreement was signed between all the partners of the Alliance.
