Unite! is one of the first 17 European University Alliances launched to structure a European University space by enhancing cooperation in teaching, research, social impact and innovation. Unite! gathers nine universities that connect European regions with the aim of renewing European higher education.
Thanks to its main E+ project and a rich ecosystem of projects, 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
Unite! is committed to developing a solid offer of joint research programmes, international teaching activities and additional activities aimed at students and staff. The Alliance works thanks to shared governance, management, services, communication and monitoring models.
The process of developing this new transnational university model started in autumn 2019 with the E+ funding. Since January 2021, Unite! has started to look 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 thanks to its H2020 project. At the end of 2021, the Alliance, originally composed of seven partners, expanded to include two more universities.
Additional activities are also carried out through its strategic projects, such as aUPaEU, an Agora of services meant to facilitate Universities' institutional transformation, for which PoliTO coordinates communication and testing.
