RUN European University
RUN European University
RUN-EU (The Regional University Network – European University) brings together nine European higher education institutions from eight different countries, all committed to a common vision. Together they form the Regional University Network (RUN), the aim of which is to secure economical, societal, cultural and ecological sustainable progress within their regions and among stakeholders.
RUN European University aims to jointly develop cutting-edge teaching, learning and research to meet the future competence needs of the surrounding world. Over the course of the three-year project, RUN-EU will deliver short and flexible student and staff mobilities, create research collaboration and research groups, introduce PhD paths, plan and implement double and joint degrees, and also build joint administrative structures.
In the summer of 2020, the European Commission awarded the European University status to RUN-EU higher education institutions in order to launch the activities of RUN European University during the next three years.
The RUN European University consists of 7 HEIs:
- Polytechnic of Leiria (Portugal)
- Polytechnic of Cavado and Ave (Portugal)
- Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (Ireland)
- NHL Stenden (The Netherlands)
- Széchenyi István University (Hungary)
- Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (Austria)
- University of Burgos (Spain, joined the RUN-EU in 2023)
- Howest University of Applied Sciences (Belgium, joined the RUN-EU in 2023)
- Häme University of Applied Sciences (Finland)
All universities are situated outside the metropolitan areas and they play a major role within their region. Polytechnic of Leiria (Portugal) is the coordinator of the network.
Our students will inherit the future
RUN European University aims to develop high quality teching and reasearch, which develop skills needed in the future societies.
For students, RUN European University creates new possibilities for short, international study modules – and also more traditional study exchange opportunities. We are developing new double degrees, which offer students possibilites to study their degree in two different countries and get a degree certificate from both universities. One of RUN-EU’s ambitious goals is to open up 24 new double degree programmes.

Earlier this month, RUN-EU partner, NHL Stenden visited our campuses, and, in the meanwhile, we heard the 📣big news confirming Howest’s new partnership in RUN-EU 2.0
🥂Cheers to that 😊
In June, we also had visits and presentations from other RUN-EU partners. It’s been great having RUN-EU partners at Howest in the past months to get to know each other better and to help familiarise Howest colleagues with all the opportunities the RUN-EU alliance has to offer.
