Value proposition

We are a network of European universities, united by our commitment to build a different kind of inclusive university community. We excel in producing internationally relevant research, but not at the expense of the education of our students. We are leaders in academic research, within the top 250 in the world.

Our community of European Universities share a mission to advance social good and solve global challenges - and so do our students.
Through the network, we will:
• Share our collective best practice in being relevant, socially inclusive and diverse institutions. Access to education is at the core of our institutional missions and we will demonstrate our commitment to inclusion and diversity.
• Ensure we learn from each other in how we respond to an increasingly digitised world. Through our research, education and engagement, we will combine our expertise in how to remain relevant and resilient in the digital landscape.
• Commit to delivering research which provides solutions to societal issues - locally, nationally and internationally.

Aurora is committed to working together to find solutions to globally relevant problems, in areas such as sustainability, climate and energy, digital technology and human life and health.

The aim of our network is to provide mutual learning, for the most effective co-operation. Academic colleagues and Faculty leaders will work together - and so will colleagues from professional departments, engaging each of our institutions fully in our collaboration.

The power of our network lies in our collective strengths. We will work together to influence policy in globally significant areas where we are world leading.

Our network will provide our students with a voice, and will actively involve them in the important role of tackling global issues.
