„As we embark on publishing the first edition of the European Reform University Alliance (ERUA) Magazine, we welcome you in the ERUA community. Our small but diverse team from 3 different countries strives to make an inclusive space charged with transformative power. To achieve all that, this magazine is going to significantly rely on your insightful contributions, ideas, and support. Details on how you can get more involved are given on page no. 24. As an editorial team that wants to show you the best of ERUA, we keep in mind that at the center of it all is you and the role you play in this little world of ours. ERUA has come a long way ever since its inception in 2020. What started off as an initiative to introduce reforms in European higher education has turned into a complex, diverse, and robust venture focusing on new, innovative models of accumulating knowledge and forming a community with wider collaborations among 8 partner universities scattered across Europe. At the core of this Magazine, lies the idea of showcasing each other’s talents, ideas and stories, gaining knowledge and experiences while keeping in touch. As a reader, you will get a glimpse of what has been achieved so far and we will make sure you stay up to date with what is going on across our European student network through news, opinions, research articles and much more. For this pilot edition, you will get to tour the “Rich but Mysterious” Grand Canary Island. Then, we are going to take you on a trip to the beautiful and cozy city of Vilnius, Lithuania where Mykolas Romeris University hosted the 4th Annual ERUA Summit, covering various aspects of social innovation. The Summit perfectly signified how students, when given autonomy and treated as research partners can bring thought provoking and innovative concepts to reality. We are then going to take an in-depth look at one of the workshops representing a compelling example of how collaboration can open new doors in research. Many more stories are awaiting you… EDITORS’ NOTE Dive bravely into this issue and discover the true spirit of ERUА!“
