PIONEER Office at UNIZA
The PIONEER Alliance aims to shape the future of inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and provide students in all forms of study with specialized knowledge and skills in the European environment with an emphasis on Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG11: Sustainable Cities and Communities) and thus contribute to the European dimension of education not only at partner universities.
In the joint PIONEER+ project, taking place from 2025 to 2028, PIONEER Alliance members will focus on sustainable development and urban issues.
PIONEER Alliance brings together 10 institutions, more than 130,000 students and 17,000 educators and employees across Europe. PIONEER Alliance is created based on shared expertise in the field of cities, as well as the co-creation of ecosystems.
