Fostering Knowledge and Research Transfer

The consortium, founded in 1997, brings together a group of European universities, one from each country, with a particular interest in developing a culture of innovation and in the role of the university as a catalyst for collaboration and the transfer of research and knowledge to society. The ECIU universities are characterised by the strength of their research, by being in many cases under 50 years' old, and by their deep involvement in innovation and transfer.
