Unite!Widening enhances scientific excellence and maximizes knowledge impact by fostering extensive collaboration across European universities and partners from diverse regions.
The project has been conceived to be a complementary project under the umbrella of the European University Alliance Unite! and aims to further raise excellence in science and in knowledge valorisation of Alliance universities through increased and interwoven cooperation with Universities from Widening and non-Widening countries.
From February 25 to 28, the Unite! community will meet in person once again for an edition dedicated to students and their role in shaping the future of the alliance. “Unite! students: our soul, our core” is the theme of this exciting event, packed with activities, interactive workshops, community work sessions, and high-level meetings with university leaders.
December marked a highly productive and dynamic period for the teams working on Work Package 2 (WP2), as they successfully delivered three key reports on schedule. These documents provide valuable insights into various aspects of the Unite! alliance’s initiatives, with a strong emphasis on supporting Widening countries.
The Unite.WIDENING project, part of the transformative Unite! European University Alliance, is at the forefront of efforts to advance a collaborative, egalitarian, free, diverse, and inclusive European Open Science and Innovation Area among widening and non-widening countries. This October, two landmark events took place—the Open Science Policy Forums in Wrocław, Poland, and Lisbon, Portugal. These forums brought together students, researchers, staff, companies, university managers, funders, and national, regional, and EU policymakers to advance strategies and actions for adopting open science practices and principles in Universities in European widening countries.
