The Alliance of Timișoara Universities (ATU) was established on June 19, 2020, by signing the Partnership Agreement between the 4 state universities, being the first structure of its kind in Romania.

The establishment of ATU responds to a natural need of the university environment in Timișoara to coagulate a solid construction, oriented towards the future with the aim of consolidating Timișoara as a strong university city, as well as contributing to the development of Timiș county and the entire region.

The main objective of the alliance is to make available to the community the skills and expertise that the four Timisoara universities have in the field of education, scientific research, innovation and development, as well as in the area of artistic creation and sports performance.

The 4 member universities are: The “Victor Babes” University of Medicine and Pharmacy Timisoara, Politehnica University Timisoara, West University of Timișoara, University of Life Sciences "King Michael I" in Timișoara.
