As part of this project, structuring measures were implemented within the European Campus to create optimal framework conditions for cross-border cooperation in research and teaching. These measures include:
- analysis of the regional profile in terms of science and research;
- joint planning in terms of structure and development;
- improvement of the framework conditions for the joint hiring of advanced scientific staff;
- the promotion of an internationally oriented course offering;
- the development of new teaching and support offers;
- help with entering the labour market;
- promoting cross-border mobility and interculturality;
- the design of a common external representation.
For the period 2017-2020, Eucor – The European Campus is a partner in the European Cross-Border Skills project and obtains in this context funding from the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
In 2019, the doctoral training programme “Quantum Science and Technologies at the European Campus” (QUSTEC), set up by the EGTC Eucor – The European Campus, also received funding from the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme of the European Union. In this context, the EGTC obtained 4.2 million euros from the EU. Co-financing is provided by partner organisations, namely the universities of Basel, Freiburg im Breisgau and Strasbourg, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) as well as IBM Research – Zurich, in order to host 37 doctoral students in the field of Quantum Science and Technology for a period of 48 months.
In 2021 EGTC Eucor – The European Campus was also successful in gaining funding from the European European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme for the “Eucor Upper Rhine Immunology Group doctoral programme” (EURIdoc). The programme offers 28 doctoral positions in immunology at the universities of Basel, Freiburg and Strasbourg, the University Medical Center Freiburg and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The funding from the European Union amounts to 3 million euros. With co-financing from the partner institutions, the program is supported by a total budget of 6.8 million euros over a five-year period.
