Do you want to offer an EPICUR course in spring 2026?

Why you need to be involved

When you offer your course through EPICUR, you get the opportunity to attract a new mix of students – both Danish and international – into your classroom. This provides students with academic immersion and international experience, while making your teaching visible in a wider European context.

What is EPICUR?

EPICUR is a European alliance where nine universities work together to develop new teaching methods and strengthen international cooperation in education programmes. The alliance allows students to take courses and programmes across the partner universities – often jointly developed and taught by lecturers from several countries.

What courses are we looking for?

The course must address students within one or more of EPICUR's focus areas – which are the following:

European values: Fundamental ideals for Europe's cultural, social and political development – including human rights, democracy, diversity, tolerance and solidarity.

Sustainable transformation: Changes in economy, society and environment that ensure a more sustainable way of living and doing business with a focus on resources, environment, social justice and economic stability.

Future intelligence: Developing intelligent systems and technologies that go beyond today's AI and support human and societal needs.

Global health: Working to promote well-being and health equity globally through prevention, treatment and access to quality healthcare.

Cross-cutting skills: Competences that can be used across disciplines and sectors, such as digital skills, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, leadership and cultural understanding.
