Unite! University Network for Innovation, Technology and Engineering

 
  
 

Imagine a university that offers you all the schooling from seven European high-profile scientific universities.
Imagine how mobility between these seven campus can be simplified thanks to common procedures and services that will allow you to live the digital campus experience, whenever you want to.
Imagine innovative learning methods, and being able to learn a language as well as discovering different European cultures thanks to your study program!

 

European alliance Unite! makes all of the above possible. University Grenoble Alpes is part of this partnership, along with 6 other European universities.

In concrete terms, Unite! will achieve these objectives though the following activities:

   

• Mobility, both physical and virtual within the Unite! network is possible for all students of partner universities. Students can participate in joint programs, summer schools, online courses as well as short mobility programs.

• Easy access to language and culture courses of all possible destinations.

 

 

• Doctoral students can participate in programs collectively elaborated among Unite! partners for which research is closely linked to learning process, innovation and entrepreneurship.
   
• Mobility in the Unite! network is also possible within the framework of scientific collaborations.

   

• All staff working in Unite! partner universities can carry out mobilities, especially during themed Staff Weeks.
   
• Staff are encouraged to participate in Unite!work packages when relevant.
   
• Staff have access to the Teaching and Learning Academy, which aims to guide teachers develop flexible and pedagogically innovative academic career.

What is more, Unite! develops models of collaborative management and governance, as well as support services, communication and quality assurance for Unite! inter-university campus.

Unite! has been granted an additional funding in July 2020 from European program Horizon 2020. Within this scope and thanks to its educational dimension, Unite! develops a strategy of research and innovation (R&I).

Unite! is a network of universities extended from Finland to Portugal, connecting European regions of economic prospect, entrepreneurship and innovation. Together the seven partners have 167,000 students and annually 36,700 graduates.

They are already cooperating closely on more than 80 EU projects and have exchanged over 2,000 students in the past five years.

Unite! originates from CLUSTER network and builds on three decades of close and dedicated cooperation on different aspects of higher education, research, innovation and social responsibility.

The Unite! partners share a common view towards regional embeddedness, technology transfer, and engineering and science education, with complementary multidisciplinary approaches.
