Summary/Abstract: The new University Alliances, as European flagship projects, promotes joint educational programs, structures, practices, and campuses. In this context, an very unique and innovative joint master program has been proposed by seven universities, under the title of „Lifelong Well-being and Healthy Ageing”. Despite the long-lasting cooperation of the seven universities involved in the alliance, new and multiple challenges have to be overcome when comes to frame a joint academic offer at master level. Data have been collected by documentation, over 500 hours of group work and stakeholders’ consultation. The paper underlines the main challenges, but also identified solutions for most of these limits and barriers. The results may be used as a starting point for other studies, for other initiative, for national and European policies.
