Summary/Abstract: This special issue of Deeds and Days is devoted to the topic of transformation – visions for European universities and the future of Europe. As Europe grapples with the complexities of a rapidly changing global landscape, its educational institutions find themselves at the nexus of this social transformation, serving as crucibles for the evolution of individual and collective identities. With its rich tapestry of histories, cultures, and languages, Europe is navigating a delicate balance between preserving its diverse traditions and embracing the transformative forces of the 21st century. Universities, as bastions of intellectual inquiry, are at the forefront of this journey, guiding students through a process of self-discovery and critical engagement with the world around them. Cross-border alliances of higher education institutions from various countries in the EU that commit to sharing a joint strategy of building the future of education in Europe are therefore of crucial importance in times of global change. It is in this context that the European University Alliance Transform4Europe (T4EU) fulfills its important role of creating a long-term vision of cooperation across the various levels of the organizations and across different areas of activities, from teaching and research to university administration.
