Seven universities sharing European values and a global outlook
ENGAGE.EU is a consortium of seven universities sharing European values and a global outlook: University of Mannheim (Germany) – Coordinator, Luiss Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli (Italy), NHH Norwegian School of Economics (Norway), Tilburg University (The Netherlands), University of National and World Economy (Bulgaria), University Toulouse 1 Capitole (France), and WU Vienna University of Economics and Business (Austria).
All institutions together are currently an academic home to over 100,000 students, academics and staff.
The alliance will exploit the unique synergies of its excellent members, taking existing collaborations to a new dimension guided by a joint approach and a common goal, where each university brings its unique perspective shaped by its academic areas of specialization as well as geographical and economic context.
