Flagships

The 4EU+ Flagships are thematic areas that form the basis for interdisciplinary cooperation in research, teaching, and innovation between the eight member universities. The Flagships initiate and realize a wide range of activities within the Alliance, including joint research projects, joint study programmes, academic conferences, courses for students and doctoral candidates, as well as summer and winter schools. The four Flagships focus on issues that play a key role in finding solutions for topical global challenges.

Each Flagship is led by a Programme Committee (FPC), which coordinates the activities of the respective thematic area and oversees the development of mutual goals. Members of the FPCs define focus topics, discuss overall questions, and function as key contact persons for Flagship-related activities within their universities. The four FPCs exchange good practices, discuss challenges, and promote further cooperation between subjects and disciplines.
