ECIU University

ECIU University is an alliance of 12 higher education institutions in the European Union, including the INSA Group, which place innovation and societal change at the heart of their mission.

The ECIU University Alliance is committed to pushing the boundaries of traditional learning and promotes a learner-centered approach. Our goal is to create a dynamic and interdisciplinary learning ecosystem where students, teachers, and researchers collaborate to address societal challenges and stimulate social innovation.

Awarded with the 2019 European Commission's "European Universities" call for proposals, ECIU University is implementing a challenge-based learning approach, and all members of the INSA Lyon community can get involved.
