Sunrise Alliance

Sunrise Alliance logoThe CSAL Language Centre at Università Politecnica delle Marche contributes to the SUNRISE European University Alliance by offering language learning opportunities to students (and, where applicable, staff) from partner universities. SUNRISE brings together nine smaller-sized European universities rooted in non-metropolitan regions, working together to strengthen education, innovation, and sustainable regional development.

Multilingualism and intercultural competence are core values of the alliance and are explicitly addressed within Work Package 2 / Task Group 2.2, which promotes multilingualism as a key enabler of European values and mobility across partner institutions.
