Unite! is one of the first 17 European University Alliances; it gathers nine universities that connect European regions of economic prospect, entrepreneurship and innovation with the aim to renew European higher education, within its Erasmus+ pilot project, as well as develop a common research and innovation agenda among its partners within its Horizon 2020 project.
Unite! will connect engineering, science and technology with the great challenges of society in co-creation with students, faculty and staff – providing skills for a new generation of European and global citizens.

Key Activities
The process of developing a new university model started in autumn 2019; since January 2021 Unite! started looking even further ahead taking up the challenge launched by the EC to develop, in synergy with its education dimension, a shared, integrated, long-term research and innovation (R&I) strategy; furthermore, at the end of 2021 the Alliance, originally composed of seven partners, expanded to include two more universities.
Additional activities of the Alliance regard the development of joint models for governance and management, support services, communication and quality assurance.
