Abstract
The paper has the main aim to present the experience of the Politehnica University of Timișoara in the context of its participation to one of the European Universities Alliances consortium over the last 4 years. The main subjets addressed regarding co-creation principles in teaching, learning and research are presented. Another key issue addressed is further development of Open Education, Open Science and Open Innovation experiences and strategies in the nine partner universities. Another important challenge faced by our Alliance is the digitalization strategy of the consortium, involving identification of each university’s specific needs, of their shared values and expectations, challenges and opportunities for joint collaboration. The paper also includes a SWOT analysis to assess the strengths, weaknesses (gaps) and overall adequacy of open education tools, resources and training against the needs of the E3UDRES2 alliance, all technical universities.
