Arqus II
Arqus II is the Erasmus + Project running from October 2022 to September 2026.
Arqus II is the continuation of the Arqus European University Alliance initiated in 2019. Its vision for 2032 is that of a forward-looking, open, integrated, and research-driven European University, building transformative excellence with and for all. Arqus II will upscale and institutionalize the pilot actions implemented in Arqus I.
Cyberactioning
Cyberactioning is a 4-year project funded under the European Commission call DIGITAL-2022-SKILLS-03, launched within the Digital Europe Programme to foster specialised education programmes and modules in key capacity areas. The project strengthens advanced skills in cybersecurity and cyberintelligence through close cooperation between academia and industry. The consortium brings together four Arqus universities — University of Granada, University of Minho, University of Padua, and Vilnius University — and six SMEs and research centres with strong expertise in the field: Securiq Sistemas SL, Digitalsign – Certificadora Digital SA, Eurotux Informática SA, Amped SRL, Qascom SRL, and Fundación IMDEA Network. By combining academic excellence with real-world expertise, Cyberactioning supports the development of high-quality learning opportunities and practical training pathways that respond to current and emerging cybersecurity needs across Europe.
EDLab
The one-year EDLab action was granted 200,000 EUR by the European Commission in January 2023, with the aim of testing the implementation of European and international joint degree programmes and the European Degree Label, with special emphasis on France, Italy, Portugal and Spain. The project, coordinated by the University of Granada, brings together 13 universities from Spain, Portugal, Italy, France and Belgium representing Arqus and three other European University Alliances (ENLIGHT, EUTOPIA and SEA-EU). EDLab also counts on an extensive network of associate partners, a total of 35, which include national ministries and quality assurance agencies, European and global university networks, student and alumni associations, along with other partner universities from the four Alliances.
Arqus Research & Innovation
The Arqus R&I project aims to enhance the research and innovation dimension of the Alliance’s activities and to address current global societal challenges through intensified joint research, characterised by the pursuit of excellence, openness, transparency and effective engagement with society.
