The members of the EUTOPIA alliance decided to fund 12 PhD co-tutelle projects within the framework of the EUTOPIA PhD co-tutelle program 2020 promoting scientific excellence, research collaboration and academic mobility.
Launched in January 2020 and coordinated by CY Cergy Paris Université, this program is a significant activity of the EUTOPIA alliance in support of research cooperation. It illustrates the strong willingness of the partners to integrate their research communities.
With a two-stage selection process, including an internal evaluation phase within each institution and a final mixed jury between the partners of each co-tutelle,
21 projects were initially submitted from five alliance partner universities: University of Warwick, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, CY Cergy Paris University, University of Ljubljana, Pompeu Fabra University. Four possible combinations of co-tutelle were offered: Warwick-CY , VUB-CY, Ljubljana-CY and Pompeu Fabra-CY .
The five participating partner universities jointly funded this programme. CY Cergy Paris University supported the call with 1.02 million euros from CY Initiative of Excellence.

The CY Excellence Initiative brings together CY Cergy Paris University and the ESSEC Business School. In February 2017, CY Initiative won the I-Site excellence initiatives fund from the French government Investissement d'Avenir Program (PIA 2). With 10 million Euros per year, its main lines of strength are the focus in global challenges faced by scientific and technological evolution, with a radically international approach. CY Initiative bases its funding in two criteria: excellence in research and economic development.
EUTOPIA is an alliance of six universities that have recently been awarded an Erasmus+ 'European Universities' pilot project. The core mission of the EUTOPIA Alliance is to promote a connected and inclusive academic community, addressing global and local challenges, advancing excellence and inclusion, geared towards impact and fostering European economic development and innovation through a deep engagement of the Alliance with its local and regional ecosystems.
