„The Alliance is About Learning from One Another at a Deeper Level"

Nearly seven years ago, six European universities came together to launch the European Digital UniverCity (EDUC) — a university alliance led by the University of Potsdam with an ambitious goal: to bring students, scholars, and staff across partner institutions into a shared academic community. Building on years of established collaboration in teaching and research, the alliance set out to take that cooperation to a new level.

From Potsdam to Europe: Exploring Linguistic Landscapes through EDUC

The linguist Dr Marta Lupica Spagnolo has been conducting research into multilingualism for many years and regularly encourages students in her courses to take a closer look at everyday life. In the 2025/26 winter semester, she offered a seminar on linguistic landscapes for the second time, in which students from Potsdam, Brno and Cagliari worked together to trace linguistic patterns.
