The RUN-EU European Programmes Academy Exploratory Missions (EPA-Missions) will bring its community together throughout the alliance for in-person, weeklong knowledge-creation events with the aim of co-creating joint learning opportunities for RUN-EU learners.

These learning opportunities range from short joint education opportunities (such as SAPs, COILs, MOOCs) to joint degree programmes (leading to a joint, double, or multiple degree).

In total, RUN-EU will implement one EPA-Mission per RUN-EU partner. In the final EPA-Mission, the results of the first EPA-Missions will be discussed, and interdisciplinary learning opportunities will be developed by their teams in the EU priority areas of the digital and green transitions and socio-economic challenges.

The approach to the development and hosting of the EPA-Missions has been finalised and their schedule is now available with the pilot EPA-Mission taking place in Austria, from 16 to 19 April 2024, at the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (FHV).

We are looking forward to seeing our students and staff come together to review the needs of the RUN-EU regions, co-create ideas for joint learning opportunities, explore Vorarlberg and be in touch with local stakeholders.

The schedule below shows the EPA-Missions hosting universities, the dates, the broader educational domain and contact details for each EPA-Mission.

To participate in any of the EPA-Missions, please contact the strand members of your university.
