Iscte is a member of the European University PIONEER Alliance, a consortium of ten universities co-funded by the European Commission
The PIONEER Alliance includes the following universities:
The universities aim to co-create a transnational European campus and promote joint education, research, and innovation activities. They aim to inform public policies on the future of cities in line with EU priorities, to meet European citizens’ needs. These priorities include the Green Deal, 100 carbon-neutral cities, regional smart specialisation strategies, digital transformation, and open science.
The PIONEER Alliance's activities cover seven of the programme and structuring themes of the European agenda, including urban transition, vulnerability, inclusion, and health in cities; sustainable and resilient cities; digital transition; and mobility, energy transition, and nature in cities. These thematic programmes are designed to promote inter- and transdisciplinary academic work, using different methodological traditions as effective teaching and research agendas.
The PIONEER European campus is founded on the principle of openness: the PIONEER Alliance is designed to be inclusive of everyone, including students, teaching and non-teaching staff so that all can benefit from the opportunity to study or work abroad, discover new cultures, and participate in common projects and structures. The European open campus will allow students to develop three competences: linguistic, intercultural, and international. Linguistic competence refers to studying and working in a foreign language. Intercultural competence refers to the ability to collaborate with students and teachers from diverse backgrounds. International competence refers to broadening knowledge through comparative approaches across Europe. The PIONEER open campus will also provide an environment for students to deliberate and practice European values such as democracy, human rights, and sustainability. This education aims to promote European citizenship and improve the employability of students, teaching, and non-teaching staff across Europe.
Iscte is coordinating several projects involving partner universities as part of the PIONNER Alliance:
The ATHENA Project, University Goes Digital for a Sustainable Global Education, was funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and coordinated by Iscte - University Institute of Lisbon, having as partner universities Gustave Eiffel University (France), the University of Florence (Italy) and Sigmund Freud University (Austria). The project developed cooperative learning environments that are inclusive and transformative by utilising new technologies such as e-learning, gaming platforms, virtual and augmented reality. These technologies will be systematically modelled to activate key competences in digital learning.
InCITIES - Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon leads the InCITIES project, is a three-year initiative (October 2022 - September 2025) that aims to transform Higher Education Institutions and their surrounding ecosystems to meet the inclusion, sustainability, and resilience needs of cities. This project aims to tackle the challenges faced by cities in Europe and globally, with a particular emphasis on the enlargement of countries such as Portugal and Slovakia. The project aims to help these cities overcome structural, socio-cultural, economic, political, and institutional barriers. The partner universities involved in this project are Gustave Eiffel University (FR), TH Koln (GE), Laurea (FN), and UNIZA (SK).
