Contributing to EU competitiveness
Welcome to Politecnico di Torino for the XIII Unite! Dialogue, gathering together more than 300 participants from the nine Unite! universities. Strategic discussions will focus on the future of the Alliance, both in terms of competitiveness and long-term sustainability.
The event takes place from 9-12 February 2026 at Politecnico Main Campus.
The XIII Dialogue will focus on Unite! future and prospects, featuring strategic meetings for its governing bodies, SURE! students and working groups. The programme includes plenary meetings and parallel discussions specifically dedicated to Unite! future, where participants will discuss and collaborate on long-term strategies and upcoming funding opportunities. Community engagement will be emphasised through social activities, and dedicated dinners—most notably the traditional Unite! Dinner Party. Parallel Unite! Widening and aUPaEU meetings will also be included.
For more details, see the Agenda section below. Please note that the programme is still a draft and changes are likely.
The main events' venue will be the R Rooms building, at PoliTO Engineering Campus. Politecnico's maps are available here. We will provide you with additional information once available.
