Collaboration in Europe

Lund University collaborates and cooperates with top universities all over the world through international networks, programmes and platforms. Below we present some of our larger, university-wide collaborations within Europe.

League of European Research Universities (LERU)

LERU was founded in 2002 by some of Europe’s leading universities, including the universities of

Cambridge
Oxford
Helsinki and
Heidelberg.

LERU’s aims are to strengthen European research, education and innovation and to develop best practice through the mutual exchange of experiences. This is mainly done through lobbying towards the European Commission.

Membership of LERU is by invitation only. The criteria for membership include high-quality, peer-reviewed scientific research (so-called 'peer-recognised academic excellence') and comprehensiveness. That is to say that member universities need to be full scale and comprise several research disciplines.

Lund University was elected in 2004.

collaborates in a three-year pilot project focused on global health and related fields.

Erasmus+
