Malmö University is a member of the Young European Research Universities Network (YERUN). The network enables collaboration with like-minded institutions to strengthen research, education and the role of universities in society.

Young universities committed to research

YERUN comprises universities with strong research environments and distinct international profiles. The member universities all aim to conduct high-quality research, offer education that meets the needs of society, and contribute to sustainable development through knowledge, innovation and collaboration.

A stronger voice in Europe

Through YERUN, Malmö University is able to have an impact on European policy on research, education and innovation. The network represents the interests of its member universities and develops joint submissions to the EU in areas such as:

  • research and innovation policy
  • European research programmes
  • Erasmus+ and international mobility
  • the European Research Area (ERA)
  • open science and research quality
  • the development of skills and academic career paths.

Collaboration on research and education

YERUN creates opportunities for collaboration between member universities and serves as a platform for the exchange of knowledge across national and disciplinary boundaries. This collaboration takes the form of, amongst other things, joint research and development projects, working groups, conferences and the exchange of experiences on strategic issues.

For Malmö University, this presents opportunities to develop long-term partnerships with universities that share similar ambitions and challenges.
