## The University of Padua in the Arqus Alliance

*[Versione italiana](https://www.unipd.it/arqus)*

**Arqus is the University Alliance the University of Padua belongs to**

It brings together 9 european universities: *Granada, Graz, Leipzig, Lyon 1, Maynooth, Minho, Padua, Vilnius, Wroclaw*

Nine longstanding comprehensive research universities who share extensive experience in joint projects and a common profile as internationalized institutions with deep regional engagement in medium-sized cities.

Arqus aspires to build on the member universities’ sound prior experience in cooperation in order to achieve a high level of **integration in its members’ policies and action plans**

The principal ambition of the**Arqus European University Alliance** is to act jointly as a laboratory for institutional learning from which to move forward in the design, testing and implementation of an innovative model for **deep inter-university cooperation** as the foundation for a truly integrated **European inter-university campus** following the guidelines of the**European Universities initiative**promoted by the European Union.
