University and city communities meet at a half-yearly public Forum at one of the 9 EC2U Universities to strengthen the multi-faceted cooperation of the alliance. Citizens are invited to participate on important topics that concern themselves and the city they live in.

Various stakeholders from the EC2U universities and cities come together with their diverse perspectives to build shared visions and create new solutions to the challenges the EC2U communities face.

Science & fun! Scientists from the EC2U Universities compete in an interdisciplinary battle of wits: who can best (and most entertainingly) answer questions of the citizens of the EC2U cities?
