Four important research-intensive universities in Europe: the University of Warsaw, Charles University, Sorbonne University and Heidelberg University signed a declaration on the establishment of a European University Alliance. The alliance aims at strengthening cooperation in research, education, the mobility of researchers and students as well as developing activities in innovation and entrepreneurship.

- enable shared platforms and expanded access to the resources of our universities to address large, complex challenges,
- integrate teaching and research to provide a world-leading experience for students from over the world where new ideas will thrive,
- create a common infrastructure that provides added value for the individuals as well as for each particular university.
