EIUC is organised through the joint efforts of 41 prestigious European universities, all renowned for their leading role in education, research and advocacy in human rights and democratisation. Their experience in working together on curriculum development, teaching methodology, student selection and evaluation, and even the awarding of degrees, marks a unique example of European inter-university cooperation.
The benefits are multiple. For students, all the EIUC participating universities together present a richness and variety of perspectives on human rights that no single department or faculty could offer. For professors and experts, who devote voluntarily their time and expertise to this common endeavour, the cooperation brings insight and inspiration, which in turn enriches the participating institutions.
