EUNICE – European University for Customised Education

EUNICE, the European University for Customised Education, is designed to solve social and economic challenges by strengthening education, research and internationalisation. Together, EUNICE universities from ten European countries are working towards flexible study pathways across national borders.

The EUNICE network's activities include a wide range of educational and research cooperation, based on regional impact, innovation and social sustainability. Some of these activities, such as massive online open courses, are open for everyone. Others, such as exchange possibilities, are targeted to students and staff of EUNICE universities.

EUNICE provides:

• International experiences and networking
• High-quality online learning opportunities
