After six transformative years under Tanja Brühl’s leadership (TU Darmstadt), Vivien Quéma, President of Grenoble INP – UGA, has been unanimously elected to lead the European University Alliance Unite!, opening a new chapter of continuity and renewal for this network of nine European universities.
During the last Unite! Dialogue, held at Aalto University in October 2025, the alliance’s Assembly elected Vivien Quéma as its new President, succeeding Tanja Brühl. As President of Grenoble INP - UGA and Professor of computer science, Vivien Quéma brings to this role a deep understanding of academic leadership, research excellence, and European cooperation.
Under his presidency, Unite! aims to build on the solid foundations laid by Tanja Brühl, who has guided the alliance from its creation into a forward-looking and impactful network committed to innovation in education, research, and sustainability.
