The IDEA League is a strategic alliance of five of Europe's leading universities of technology. On October 6, 1999, the IDEA league was formed by the signing of a memorandum of understanding between four similar European universities: Imperial College London, Delft University of Technology, ETH Zürich and RWTH Aachen University. Each had a research-oriented profile and each was the largest producer of engineering and science graduates in their own countries. In 2006, ParisTech joined the collaboration. The term IDEA comes from the first letter of each of the founding institutions.

One of the IDEA League's main ambitions is to re-establish Europe as a technological and scientific leader by bundling academic resources and knowledge.
