Tuscan Organisation of Universities and Research for Europe (TOUR4EU)

TOUR4EU – Tuscan Organisation of Universities and Research for Europe is a non-profit association, established in May 2018 under Belgian law. It brings together the Tuscany Region and seven prestigious Tuscan universities: the University of Florence, the University of Pisa, the University of Siena, the University for Foreigners of Siena, IMT School for Advanced Studies of Lucca, Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa, and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa. TOUR4EU advances the interests of the Tuscan Higher Education system in EU research, promoting internationalisation and facilitating European project planning. In Brussels, there is a diverse landscape of networks, authorities, research centers, individual universities, and consortiums. TOUR4EU actively engages with EU institutions, seizes opportunities, and fosters collaborations among researchers and European partners. The association strives to enhance synergy, internationalisation, scientific cooperation, and European project planning. TOUR4EU's goal is to drive advanced and innovative interactions between Tuscan universities and the local industrial sector, unlocking opportunities presented by European funding.
