The European university ENGAGE.EU

ENGAGE.EU is a European university alliance specialising in business, economics and the social sciences with the aim of strengthening competences and skills to manage major societal challenges.

Since 2022, Hanken has collaborated with ENGAGE.EU, and in November 2023 we became full members of this European university.

According to the European Commission, European university alliances are "a campus" for higher education between universities that offer curricula where learners and staff can participate in exchanges at all levels. To discover the offerings, please click below.

Researchers can make use of the ENGAGE.EU Research Label that directly supports joint research opportunities.

There is also a publications platform, and all researchers at Hanken are encouraged to sign up to the research community platform to find like-minded researchers and funding opportunities within the ENGAGE.EU community.
