Welcome to Qn European Alliance!

Our alliance is driven by, and built upon, 10 very diverse universities.  
Qn embodies diversity by design. Together we cover a wide range of complementary profiles in terms of size (large, medium and small), character (public, private and mixed) and nature (generalist, applied and specialized). We are a unique multi-campus alliance, uniting both physical and digital worlds, with the capacity to bring an enriched educational experience to every corner of Europe and beyond.  

Our firm commitment is to become an inclusive role model, based on the principles of the Just Triple Transition (Social, Green and Digital). Qn is designing a 360º transformative governance and co-creation model based on a comprehensive approach known as the “360-degree Quality, Query-driven and Quintuple helix (5Helix)”. Thus our name!

Our visionary approach, focuses on fostering a long-term, sustainable cooperation with high levels of permeability with the local and regional ecosystems in all academic missions. Therefore, we embrace bi-directional permeability, allowing professors, students and professionals to seamlessly moving in and out of our university throughout their careers for training, re-skilling and upskilling.

The Qn Alliance has the power to touch the lives of nearly 400,000 students across its network of 39 universities, including 10 full partners and 29 associated partners. This remarkable reach signifies a wealth of potential impact and an exciting opportunity for global engagement.

Looking forward to meeting you soon!
