European University alliances are often framed as vehicles for mobility and institutional cooperation, yet their potential role in supporting democratic values remains underdeveloped. In a context of growing political fragmentation across Europe, this panel examines how alliances can move beyond exchange formats such as Erasmus+ and contribute to democratic resilience. 

Featured Speakers:

• Anders Adlercreutz (Finland’s Minister of Education)

• Maria Kelo (European University Association)

• Karl Stoeckel (CIVIS Alliance)

• Moderator: Doris Alexander (Trinity College Dublin & FOREU4ALL)
