EuniWell
What is EUniWell?
EUniWell – the European University for Well-Being – is one of 50 selected European university alliances funded by the European Commission through the ERASMUS+ program in 2020. EUniWell consists of eleven distinguished universities: Birmingham (United Kingdom), Cologne (Germany), Florence (Italy), Inalco (France), Konstanz (Germany), Linnaeus University (Sweden), Murcia (Spain), Nantes (France), Santiago de Compostela (Spain), Semmelweis (Hungary), and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Ukraine). Additionally, we have support from over 100 associated partners from all sectors of society.
In November 2023, EUniWell took a significant step forward by starting its second phase, backed by renewed Erasmus+ funding. This crucial milestone, following a successful three-year pilot phase, opens the doors to a dynamic era of growth and innovation. At the heart of this exciting journey is the launch of “EUniWell 2030: Strategy Framework and Strategy Questions,” a visionary document that charts the course for our mission as a European university dedicated to well-being.
As we deepen our impact in research, education, innovation, and community engagement, we are determined to shape a better future for all. With a passion for creating change and a strong commitment to social issues, EUniWell continues to be a leading force in promoting well-being across Europe. Our journey towards a brighter and more sustainable future has only just begun – and we invite you to be a part of this exciting development.
