Eucor, the European Campus, is a trinational alliance of five universities in the Upper Rhine region at the heart of Europe: the University of Basel, the University of Freiburg, the University of Haute Alsace, the University of Strasbourg, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Together, these universities bring the expertise of around 17,000 researchers, 9,900 doctoral candidates, and 120,000 students in a strong research and economic region across France, Germany, and Switzerland. The goal is to build a clearly profiled academic area without walls or borders, with international reach.
