Started in 2021, this collaboration analyses global digital policies to identify the values shaping our online world. Through the Digital Constitutionalism Network, they have built an open-access database that turns complex documents, like the UN’s Global Digital Compact, into actionable insights for research and policy.

• Key Achievement: Showcasing the Digital Bills of Rights Database at the 2025 UN Internet Governance Forum, where they demonstrated its practical impact to global policymakers and civil society.
• Future Vision: They have been expanding the dataset and testing LLMs to support qualitative coding, collaborating with a multi-disciplinary team of YUFE students and international experts.

Solving a vital problem: the lack of a clear “big picture” for minority shareholder protection in the EU. By comparing legal systems like Cyprus and Poland, they are helping law practitioners and policymakers build more confident, fairer markets.

• Key Achievement: They have built a lasting research powerhouse, successfully hosting three international conferences and publishing a joint volume, with a major Routledge book on the way.
• Future Vision: They are heading toward our next international conference in May 2026. The goal is to expand our reach to EU-level policymakers and publish a new global volume that defines the future of company law.

LingYUFE explores language diversity, change, and multimodality, connecting linguists across  YUFE partners. Real commitment to multilingualism, inclusion, and supporting younger researchers.

• Key Achievement: Secured funding for the “MultiLingYUFE” project and piloted science outreach for primary school children. 

• Future Vision: Establishing a stronger online identity through a dedicated webpage and providing targeted training for young scholars at annual meetings.

This project unites computer science and pedagogy to empower instructors to use Generative AI for student mentoring. 

• Key Achievement: Developing AI-supported teaching materials and personalized feedback prototypes across three YUFE partners. 

• Future Vision: Solidifying a “North-South” European reference point for human-centered, AI-driven higher education.

This network promotes the dissemination of philosophical research regarding technology from a uniquely European perspective. 

• Key Achievement: Successfully hosted a “BIP” in Paris (June 2025) attracting over 25 post-docs and PhD students. 

• Future Vision: Developing a joint-MA programme proposal sponsored by Erasmus-Mundus. 

Within the YUFE Pilot on Postdoctoral Training and Development, peer support groups were created for postdoctoral researchers to connect, share experiences, and support one another in an informal, safe setting. By training peer facilitators, we help postdocs build sustainable support networks. Anyone working with or as a postdoc can benefit.

• Key Achievement: Trained 13 postdocs to lead 11 support groups, reaching 117 participants focused on resilience and career development. 

• Future Vision: Expanding via professional video learning materials and structured guidelines to ensure long-term self-efficacy.

A decade-long (2021–2031) five-way collaboration, this programme teaches students from Business and Law faculties how to pitch startup ideas in multicultural teams. 

• Key Achievement: Over 50 students have earned ECTS credits while building startup ideas; created an open-access entrepreneurship toolkit. 

• Future Vision: Launching an Alumni Network Platform to track the long-term success of participants and foster lifelong networking.

BioYUFE is a grassroots initiative connecting life-science programs to foster research-based, hands-on teaching. By defining “Bio” broadly, the project bridges the gap between hard sciences and the humanities, addressing ethical and social perspectives. 

• Key Achievement: Launched elective courses and a quarterly webinar series on themes like biodiversity and mental health. 

• Future Vision: Developing a joint inter-university Master’s in Biodiversity & Sustainability.

This strategic initiative leverages the alliance to connect researchers with the Horizon Europe funding ecosystem, specifically targeting Early Career Researchers (ECRs). 

• Key Achievement: Connected over 600 researchers, resulting in three submitted Horizon Europe proposals and multiple individual research grants. 

• Future Vision: Reinvesting in the next edition through a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) to support researchers with limited resources.
