The EUCOR-European Campus is a regional concept and a sub-regional alliance spontaneously formed by three countries and five universities in the Upper Rhine region.From the perspective of self-organization,it clarifies the development trajectory and operational mechanisms of European campuses,revealing how their identities transition from disorder to order,and gradually achieve the process of sub-regional higher education integration.In the bottom-up process of self-organizational development,the Campus has undergone three identity evolutions,transitioning from a partner to a European ideal,and then to a legal entity.This is a nonlinear process that progresses from a lower level of organi-zation to a higher level.Following its official establishment,the Campus operates through in-tegrated interest spaces driven by resource complementarity,cross-border mobility facilitat-ed by institutional coordination,and project collaboration enabled by financial coordina-tion.Additionally,the evolution and development of European campuses have also benefit-ed from institutional isomorphism among European countries,non-linear synergy among border regions,and identity recognition among campus collaborations.
