Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities

The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities (also called The Guild) is a university network founded in 2016.[1][2] It currently comprises twenty of Europe’s most distinguished research-intensive universities in fifteen countries, and is dedicated to enhancing the voice of academic institutions, their researchers and their students.[3]

One of the objectives of the Guild is to promote common positions on higher education and research, especially towards prestigious institutions. For example, in early 2018, the Guild produced a few reference and positioning documents on the FP9, the next Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development.[4]

Its current president is Vincent Blondel, rector of the University of Louvain (UCLouvain), in Belgium.
