19.03.2025 Towards EUPeace joint programmes

The development of Joint Master’s Programmes and degrees is one of EUPeace's "flagship" projects. Our Alliance intends to:

• develop two programme pilots – one in the humanities and the social sciences and one in the STEM subject areas – for the deep integration of curricula based on the broad roll-out of the European Track. The two pilots will be followed by three additional degrees.
• integrate the experience of the European Track, the Research Hubs, and the Living Peace Lab into the development.

Pragmatism lies at the heart of our approach to developing these joint programmes, which should both align with and further our universities‘ individual and collective strategic priorities. It’s our aim to establish five joint programmes over the coming years, keeping in mind the positive developments around the the European Union’s proposed European Degree. 

With a view to publicising our rapidly developing work in this direction, we’ve put together a page detailing current plans and projects that could culminate in EUPeace Joint Programmes. You can find it here, and it will be continually updated over the coming weeks and months: do share the link widely at your university, and if you’d like to find out more or suggest further "high-potential areas" for development, you can contact Dr. Robert Craig, Coordinator of Work Package 2, at:  eupeace.wp2@uni-giessen.de.
