Get ready for the second edition of the Unite! Research School — set to be more ambitious, dynamic, and inspiring than ever before!

Students, researchers, faculty, and staff from institutions within the Unite! alliance were invited to unleash their creativity by participating in the collaborative project Joined Up Writing – Unite! edition.

Under the motto “Unite! students: “our soul, our core”, the UPC welcomed over 500 participants from the nine Unite! universities from February 25 to 28, to advance a more connected and innovative European higher education.

Driven by students from the alliance, the U!Train Manifesto, calls on policymakers, transport ministers, and universities to prioritize the revitalization and enhancement of rail systems across Europe.

Launched in 2020, the U!Train idea has finally become a reality! Unite! alliance brought together nearly thirty students for a rail journey connecting Barcelona to Grenoble.

Unite! will convene for the tenth time from 24 to 26 September 2024 in Darmstadt for the X Unite! Dialogue and the II Unite! Branding Event. This event not only represents a significant milestone but also provides an ideal opportunity to strengthen connections with external partners.

Graz University of Technology hosted the Unite! Dialogue from 27-29 February 2024 for the first time since joining the alliance. Students, staff and faculty from all nine Unite! universities came together to attend this event.

Look no further than the U!Train Blended Intensive Programme. It's an exciting Unite! course, scheduled to depart, September 1st 2024.

Graz University of Technology is hosting the upcoming Unite! Dialogue, titled "Think Beyond: Unite! for Collective and Sustainable Impact”, scheduled to take place from the 27th to the 29th of February 2024.

A year after its start, UNITE! is awarded an additional 2 million Euro funding from the EU – under the Horizon 2020 “Science with and for Society” call – in order to boost the Research and Innovation dimension of the European Universities.

Technological universities have been key to face the Covid-19 crisis and provide solutions for the new challenges that have emerged. The University Network for Innovation, Technology and Engineering (UNITE!), which gathers 7 prestigious European universities, allows direct knowledge and technology transfer in order to face the challenges more efficiently and with long-lasting effects.
