European University Cyprus is a full partner of the Smaller (Strategic) Universities Network for Regional Innovation and Sustainable Evolution—the SUNRISE Alliance. Under the 2024 Erasmus+ European University call, the €14.4 million project sets out as its objectives the following:

  • To foster international education and create innovative study programs
  • To shape the cornerstones of our University Alliance: learning from each other in education, science and administration
  • To promote European values
  • To increase international research collaboration
  • To strengthen academia-industry collaboration through all university missions
  • To strengthen innovation and technology transfer, and establish a common “stakeholder network”

SUNRISE is an alliance of nine strategically located European universities with a STEAM focus in regional areas -Ilmenau University of Technology (Germany), Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy), University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszow (Poland), University of Technology of Compiègne (France), Mälardalen University (Sweden), Marche Polytechnic University (Italy), Džemal Bijedić University of Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Polytechnic University of Viana do Castelo (Portugal), and European University Cyprus – united by common goals, challenges, and values.

Together with 48 associated partners which act as stakeholders for the alliance (including the Cyprus Employers and Industrialists Federation and the SMEs Lumoscribe and BioNano in Cyprus), SUNRISE will work on a collective development of distinct regional excellence that better connects the world to the SUNRISE regions and brings, in return, the diversity of the SUNRISE regions to the world. In this way, the SUNRISE Alliance will act as a bridge builder, change agent, facilitator and enabler in a very broad sense.
