Ana María Tenorio López, a fifth-year Mechanical Engineering student at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, was one of 250 students selected out of over 3,000 applicants to participate in the European Student Assembly 2026 in Strasbourg, where she represented her university and EELISA alongside five other students from across the Alliance. As part of Panel 2 on Circular Economy, Ana's team worked on Design for Repair: the argument that how we design products determines how much waste we generate, and that making repairability a structural requirement is an engineering decision with systemic consequences. What stayed with her: “The world belongs to all of us. If we want to achieve meaningful progress, we need to reach agreements, and to do that, we must learn to understand and truly listen to each other.” Full #EELISANarrators article at https://lnkd.in/ekHDysxT #WeAreEELISA #ESA26 #EuropeanUniversities #CircularEconomy #DesignForRepair #StudentVoices #Innovation #Collaboration #Sustainability #socialimpact Universidad Politécnica de Madrid FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi Budapest University of Technology and Economics Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna Scuola Normale Superiore University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest PSL Research University Mines Paris - PSL Chimie ParisTech - PSL École nationale des ponts et chaussées ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences
About us
European Engineering Learning Innovation & Science Alliance (EELISA) is the first alliance of Higher Education Institutions from different countries in Europe meant to define and implement a common model of "European Engineer" rooted in society. We aim to transform European higher education into the seed of a society that thrives and masters global challenges with smart and sustainable solutions by: ➔ Re-inventing the “European engineer”. ➔ Democratizing engineering education. ➔ Evolving interdisciplinary engineering learning. ➔ Fostering knowledge and technology transfer. ➔ Stimulating inclusiveness and diversity. ➔ Making an impact on society. "United by Diversity" is the motto of this alliance that brings together ten of the most prestigious universities in Europe: • Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem (BME, Hungary) • Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU, Germany) • Istanbul Teknik Üniversitesi (ITU, Turkey) • Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS, Italy) • Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (SSSA, Italy) • Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM, Spain) • Universitatea Politehnica din București (UPB, Romania) • École des Ponts (ParisTech, France) • Mines ParisTech and Chimie ParisTech (Université PSL, France) • Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW, Switzerland) EELISA represents more than 194,000 students, 50,000 graduates each year, 18,500 academic and 12,000 administrative staff. Our Alliance has been awarded the "European University" status by the European Commission - an initiative that aims to strengthen strategic partnerships across the EU between higher education institutions while encouraging the emergence by 2024 of 'European Universities' which will enable students to obtain a degree by combining studies in several EU countries and contribute to the international competitiveness of European universities.

The final episode of the season is out today 🎧 Can digitalization truly make cities more sustainable, or does it come with hidden costs we're not talking about enough? EELISA Podcast Episode 10 Beyond Smart: When Digitalization Meets Urban Sustainability Nadina Zisu from University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest sits down with Ciprian Dobre, Vice-Rector and Professor of Computer Science at UPB, to take a look at the relationship between digital technologies and urban sustainability, including its trade-offs: energy consumption, digital inequality, governance gaps, and what it really takes to make a smart city work for everyone. A strong note to close the season on. We'll be back in September with Season 3. Until then, thank you for listening✨.

250 students selected out of nearly 2,900 applicants. A Budapest University of Technology and Economics student represented their university & EELISA at the European Student Assembly in Strasbourg last week, as part of Panel 5 on digital literacy, cybersecurity, and AI. The panel tackled some of the EU's most pressing digital challenges (misinformation, deepfakes, cloud sovereignty, digital skills) and every one of their proposals made it through. “This gave me a real look into how European policy actually gets made and how much it shapes our daily lives.” #WeAreEELISA #EuropeanUniversities #ESA26 #Digital #Europe #Cybersecurity #StudentVoices #EUPolicy #Innovation #Collaboration #Sustainability #SocialImpact
4 months of work. 3 days in European Parlament in Strasbourg 🇪🇺 Last week in Strasbourg, during the European Student Assembly, organized by EUC Voices, we presented proposals we had been working on for 4 months. As a member of Panel 5 - "Unlocking Digital Potential: How can the EU empower inclusive digital literacy and cybersecurity and build resilience", I had the privilege to work alongside some really driven people. Being selected as one of 250 students out of nearly 2,900 applicants already felt special - but what came after was even better. We worked on some of the biggest digital challenges the EU is facing right now: misinformation, deepfakes, AI, cybersecurity, digital skills, and cloud sovereignty. On the final day, all 10 of our policy recommendations were adopted. As a first-year international student, this gave me a real look into how European policy actually gets made - and how much it shapes our daily lives. What surprised me most is that some of the best conversations happened not in the meeting room, but over coffee and late city walks. It was a privilege to represent Budapest University of Technology and Economics though the EELISA European University alliance. A big thank you to our coordinators Laura Helena Poliaková and Marc Rodríguez García for the guidance and keeping us on track throughout the whole thing. I am also incredibly grateful to my co-penalists for the moments we shared Olha Taushan Brentdellé Etienne Lorena SUGNY Fruzsina Nánai Tinja Untinen Chang Hasheminezhad-Li María Eugenia Ramiro Gutiérrez - people from such different backgrounds, all with something valuable to contribute.

Building community from the ground up 💪 FAU just launched its EELISA Student Ambassador programme: a team of students dedicated to helping their peers discover everything EELISA has to offer, like mobility opportunities, interdisciplinary learning, cultural exchange, and funding. The kick-off session brought together new ambassadors, real student testimonials, and a genuine sense of what it means to be part of a European university alliance in practice. If you’re at FAU, you can meet them in person on: 📍 28 April — WiSo Nürnberg 📍 5 May — Roter Platz, TechFak 📍 12 May — Langemarck Cafeteria, Erlangen #WeAreEELISA #EuropeanUniversities #StudentAmbassadors #StudyAbroad
🌟 A great start: The kick-off with our new FAU EELISA Student Ambassadors! Last Friday was the big day—together with the FAU EELISA Student Ambassadors, we organized an exciting information session about the EELISA European University —and it was simply fantastic! Our FAU EELISA Student Ambassadors support the EELISA team at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg by assisting our students at events, online, and in their daily lives with any questions they may have about #EELISA. From the very beginning, there was an inspiring, open, and warm atmosphere. We didn’t just play games together, with an icebreaker bingo, but we also forged genuine connections and experiences. 💡 What we shared with the students: ✅ Clear information about #EELISA, great upcoming events across Europe, FAU EELISA funding, and much more! ✅ A deep understanding of what EELISA means for students: interdisciplinary learning environments, cultural exchange, personal development. ✅ Three authentic testimonials from FAU students who have already studied abroad with EELISA—their stories were full of motivation, exciting experiences, and valuable tips. 👉 Stay tuned for upcoming events, join in, meet new people, and let the EELISA community inspire you. So stop by at #FAU on the following dates if you want to learn more: • Tuesday 28th of April, 10:30; at the WiSo Nürnberg • Tuesday 5th of May, 10:30-14:30; Roter Platz, TechFak • Tuesday 12th of May, 10:30-14:30; Langemarck Cafeteria, Erlangen And check out the Digital Campus to find exciting chances to explore the EU and our partner universities: https://lnkd.in/dQw4K5-V Have a look at the FAU EELISA page: https://www.eelisa.fau.de/ #EELISA #FAUEELISA #StudentAmbassadors #FAU #StudyAbroad #SeasonalSchools #TravelFunding #InternationalExperience #StudentLife #GlobalMindset #GoGlobal #FAUCommunity
