Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities
The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities is a university network founded in 2016. It currently comprises twenty of Europe’s most distinguished research-intensive universities in fifteen countries, and is dedicated to enhancing the voice of academic institutions, their researchers and their students.
One of the objectives of the Guild is to promote common positions on higher education and research, especially towards prestigious institutions.
