    Within the EuroTech Universities Alliance, six leading European universities of science and technology join their forces to elaborate ambitious joint research projects on a European scale in priority areas such as artificial intelligence, sustainable development, health, and bio-engineering. The six partner institutions are \u00c9cole Polytechnique, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), \u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne (EPFL), the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU\/e), the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and the Technion \u2013 Israel Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n

    The strategic alliance bundles the member universities\u2019 expertise in research and education for the construction of a strong, sustainable, sovereign, and resilient Europe. \u00c9ric Labaye has been invested with the EuroTech Universities Alliance presidency in June 2022 for a one-year period. The presidency rotates among the partner institutions\u2019 presidents every twelve months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
