EURECA-PRO is a European University alliance that brings together 9 partner universities across 8 EU countries, working collaboratively in the field of Responsible Consumption and Production (RCP).
Its vision: to become a global hub for education, interdisciplinary research, and innovation in RCP by 2040—with a fully integrated European campus.
