UNIVERSEH 2.0, the expanded and renewed European Space University
The University of Toulouse is involved in the UNIVERSEH project through a consortium formed with four other Toulouse institutions. With an evaluation score well above the required minimum thresholds, the new version of this project, UNIVERSEH 2.0, is among the 23 European universities selected by the European Commission on Monday 3 July for the second wave, renewed for four years.
Taking over from UNIVERSEH, the European University for Earth and Humanity, this new 2.0 project continues the development of the European Space University with two new partners: the University of Namur in Belgium and the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” in Italy. UNIVERSEH can thus continue to offer interdisciplinary and multilingual education, develop new programmes at the European level, and strengthen the research and innovation pillars among its members.
Through UNIVERSEH, the scientific excellence of the Toulouse academic community is harnessed by the University of Toulouse and its members in service of the space sector, supporting transitions and contributing to the building of tomorrow’s world.
The European University UNIVERSEH is an alliance of seven universities:

New partners for an even more ambitious project
For several months, the UNIVERSEH partners have been working together to propose an even more ambitious project. This new initiative can build on the solid foundations already established by the partners to develop new educational models, strengthen research, and establish a common scientific strategy for the alliance, support mobility and multilingualism for students and staff, and promote inclusion and diversity within the space sector. This European university, built with and for students, aims to be open to society as a whole, maintaining close ties with its industrial, associative, political, and institutional partners.UNIVERSEH: Space in the Service of Today’s Global Challenges
Space technologies, data, and services are essential for addressing major contemporary challenges, particularly those related to climate change and the management of natural resources. To calibrate responses to crises, improve actions for environmental protection and climate change mitigation, enhance security, or optimise transport management, European Union space data play a crucial role. Within UNIVERSEH, all of these challenges will be addressed in a cross-disciplinary and integrated manner.Through UNIVERSEH, the scientific excellence of the Toulouse academic community is harnessed by the University of Toulouse and its members in service of the space sector, supporting transitions and contributing to the building of tomorrow’s world.
