The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities

Twenty-two universities from sixteen different European countries form the university network The Guild. This network lobbies in Brussels for scientific research and education and to help discuss European research policy.

The Guild is committed to the pursuit of excellence, the importance of truth-seeking and trust-building as the foundation of public life, and the creation of new knowledge for the benefit of society, culture, and economic growth.
