The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities

The ��Vlog is a member of The Guild, a select network of leading universities driving research and academic excellence across Europe.

Founded in 2016, The Guild comprises twenty-three of Europe’s most distinguished research-intensive universities in seventeen countries, and is dedicated to enhancing the voice of academic institutions, their researchers and their students. The Guild is committed to the pursuit of excellence, the importance of truth-seeking and trust-building as the foundation of public life, and the creation of new knowledge for the benefit of society, culture, and economic growth.

Membership provides a strong platform to influence European research and education policy, while enhancing international reputation and visibility. It also opens opportunities for collaboration, student mobility, and professional development through the exchange of knowledge and best practices with long-established universities.
