The HEQUITY Project is powered by a strong consortium of higher education institutions and civil society organizations from across Europe. Each partner brings unique expertise in diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), migration, education, and community engagement.

Through close collaboration, these institutions work together to design, implement, and promote inclusive practices that enhance the experiences of migrant and refugee students in higher education systems. Below is an overview of our project partners and their roles within HEQUITY:
