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.
Politecnico di Torino (Turin, Italy) is inviting researchers, professors and university staff dealing with doctoral education to participate in Unite! WIDENING Training: “Doctoral School International Impact and Attractiveness” (November 18–20, 2026).
From 14 to 16 July, the University of Lisbon (ULisboa) hosted the Unite!Widening Summer School @ ULisboa: Innovation & Training Days, an international initiative that brought together researchers, PhD students and professional staff from universities across the Unite! alliance
On June 17–18, 2026, academic leaders, university alliance representatives, and European policy experts met at the NCBR Brussels office for the Unite!Widening intermediate conference. Co-organized by Wrocław University of Science and Technology and the University of Lisbon, the two-day meeting focused on a central question: how European research policies can move beyond short-term cohesion instruments toward long-term institutional transformation.
