German U15 & Russell Group
A key partner is the British Russell Group, the association of 24 leading British universities, from Oxford to Glasgow. We have a long-standing strategic partnership with the Russell Group, which we have manifested in a series of joint declarations. Together, we have campaigned for the UK's full association to Horizon Europe since 2019.
