Events

The new annual RUN-EU day offer those curious about RUN-EU an opportunity to learn more about how to engage and access programmes, our research initiatives, the power of European collaboration and of course a bit of craic along the way.  The initiative constitutes an important highlight of our European University Alliance calendar, offering students, staff and our associated partners an opportunity to showcase their experience with the initiative; engage in debates, networking and collaboration with one another.

Submissions: 24^th Sept – 10^th Oct.

Share your favourite story, memory or magical moment under the theme of ‘One Alliance, Many Stories’. The image does not need to be captured while participating in a RUN-EU event. However, it should encapsulate the spirit and ethos of RUN-EU, as a European University that embodies collaboration, sustainability, multiculturalism, and inclusiveness in all its work.

All entries will be displayed across the Athlone Main Campus Building from 15^th – 17^th October.
