The EUI Strategy 2026-2031 renews our commitment to the mission of the Institute’s founding Convention. At a critical moment in history, and in times of technological disruption, we continue to produce excellent research and offer first-class teaching and training. We set out to explore new formats of public engagement and create public value in the digital era. And we share our experience with other academic institutions, aiming to become an inspirational model for the European research and education landscape.
A framework for the future EUI
Based on the long-term 'Vision for a future EUI', the EUI Strategy 2026-2031 serves as a framework for the future development of the Institute and all its units.
The three dimensions of the Vision – excellence, engagement, and communication – provide the framework for the Strategy.
The strategic priorities articulate the Institute’s forward-looking agenda, which encompasses:
- reimagining Europe
- co-creation of knowledge
- digital transformation
- equity, diversity, and inclusiveness
- sustainability
- alumni engagement.
These priorities guide research, teaching, training, and outreach, ensuring that the EUI remains at the forefront of European scholarship.
Finally, the enablers provide the culture, structures, and resources to deliver the Strategy:
- agile administration and working culture
- partnerships; funding
- quality assurance.
