SEA-EU: The European Coastal SUPERCAMPUS

SEA-EU is an Alliance of 9 European Coastal Universities (Cadiz, Bretagne Occidentale, Kiel, Gdansk, Split, Malta, Naples, Algarve and NORD) dedicated to the creation of a European Coastal Campus where all students and staff could experience Europe through a rich and varied offer of activities and cooperation.

SEA-EU is one of the pioneers in the European Universities Initiative, which started in 2019 and that, after the renewal achieved, is working towards ambitious objectives such as the European Degree Label for joint programmes, the Legal Status or the goal of 50% of mobilities.
