The League of European Research Universities (LERU) is a consortium of leading European research universities, headquartered in Leuven, Belgium.

History and overview

[edit | edit source]

The League of European Research Universities (LERU) is an association of research-intensive universities. Founded in 2002 as a partnership among twelve multi-faculty research universities, in 2024 its membership expanded to twenty-four. As the latest addition, ETH Zurich joined the alliance on 1 January 2024. The purpose of the League is to influence policy in Europe and to develop best practice through mutual exchange of experience. LERU regularly publishes a variety of papers and reports which make high-level policy statements, provide analyses and make recommendations for policymakers, universities, researchers and other stakeholders.

LERU is headquartered in Leuven, Belgium. Kurt Deketelaere is the current Secretary-General.[1] Linda Doyle is the current chair.
