Professional development opportunities
for RUN-EU staff and regional partners

New learning opportunities
created through EPA-Missions

We believe that deeper connection, collaboration, and shared learning enable greater collective impact for the future. In 2024 and 2025, the alliance completed so-called European Programmes Academy-Exploratory Missions (EPA-Missions) at each RUN-EU institution: four-day co-creation events designed to generate interdisciplinary, inclusive, and future-ready learning opportunities rooted in regional challenges.

The EPA-Missions strengthened expertise in learning design, empowered students as equal partners, and built lasting connections between RUN-EU institutions, their regions, and local stakeholders. More than events, the EPA-Missions connect the local with the European and lay the foundation for sustainable cooperation across education, research, mobility, and mentorship.

In addition to this, regular Erasmus exchange is also a possibility, allowing you to further enhance your international experience.
