Coimbra Group

What is Coimbra?

The Coimbra Group is a European university network with about 41 member universities. The purpose of the network is to forge academic and cultural bonds to further, for instance, internationalisation and academic collaborations at the partner universities, and to influence European education and research policy.

Coimbra's work is largely based on the network's 12 working groups. Uppsala University's representation in the network is listed below. For more information, please see the network's website.
