Research in the Euregio
University cooperation within the Euregio is an ongoing process. The joint research initiatives reflect the strong network established between the Universities of Bozen-Bolzano, Innsbruck, and Trento, as well as other research institutes.
The following joint research activities are carried out at the Universities of the European Region:
Academy Merano: EUPHUR

Through the Euregio Science Fund, the Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino Euregio supports innovative, multi-year cooperative projects at universities and research institutes within the Euregio. The Euregio Science Fund aims to strengthen the Euregio’s research performance and networking capacity in the context of international competition. The program is administered in cooperation with the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).
Historegio
Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, University of Innsbruck und University of Trento
Historegio is a joint research project on regional history, which is carried out in cooperation with the EGCT. Its goal is to enhance research on regional history and the historical Tyrol within the three Euregio-Universities and to create new opportunities for cooperation.
Environment, Food & Health
