PIONEER Alliance
In 2022, Tomas Bata University in Zlín joined the PIONEER Alliance to fulfil the strategic goal of becoming a European University.
The PIONEER Alliance is currently involved in preparing a project focused on strategic cooperation in the field of education, science and research in the framework of the European University initiative supported by the European Commission. This initiative aims to strengthen and structure cooperation between higher education institutions across the EU and to develop a new generation of Europeans who can work in different cultural environments.
The PIONEER consortium, coordinated by the Gustave Eiffel University in France, brings together ten universities from different geographical regions of Europe (Czech Republic, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Slovakia, Germany, Finland, Netherlands and Switzerland). All the universities will aim to promote the strengthening of the European identity, to encourage excellence and to enhance the competitiveness of European higher education institutions. The PIONEER Alliance aims to shape the future of inclusive, sustainable and resilient cities, providing students with dedicated skills in a European environment.
As a proud member of the PIONEER Alliance, UTB is excited to embark on this transformative journey, working hand-in-hand with other renowned institutions to create a lasting impact on the landscape of European education. Together, we are committed to building a brighter and more interconnected future, shaping the next generation of Europeans with the skills and knowledge to address global challenges.
