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.
When more than 300 academic leaders, researchers, and innovators gathered in Stockholm for the 14th Unite! Dialogue (October 12–14), a central imperative shaped every discussion: How do we ensure European university collaboration moves beyond intent to deliver tangible scientific and economic impact across all regions?
As European cities navigate the impacts of climate transition, urban environments face unprecedented challenges. To meet these challenges head-on, the Unite!Widening project invites thinkers, creators, and innovators from across Europe to participate in the Tri-City Hackathon: Biotechnology & Health Innovation for Healthier, More Liveable and Resilient Cities.
From a Master’s to a PhD, from research to innovation: what paths can you take?
On September 22 and 23, 2026, the University of Lisbon will host “Motivational Tracks – From Master’s Level to PhD,” an initiative of the Unite! Widening project, hosted by partners LISPOLIS and AAVANZ that aims to bring together students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and the business sector.
