Unite! Widening – a chance for Poland and Portugal

Share this:

The Unite!Widening project has been launched to help strengthen the scientific potential in Portugal and Poland. A special event on this matter had held on 1st and 2nd February in Lisbon. 

Unite!Widening is another program – after the UNITE.H2020 project completed in December 2023 – that is intended to shape an integrated research and innovation strategy within the Unite! alliance.

UNITE.H2020 has developed an integrated and long-term strategy for research and innovation conducted by universities associated in the network. The aim was to prepare a common program for their development and implement pilot initiatives in line with various modules of institutional transformation proposed by the European Commission.

Several of these activities will continue under the Unite!Widening program. Its goal is to strengthen Unite! as an alliance, by increasing its scientific, technological and innovative potential. It will focus on strengthening the scientific potential of two countries: Poland and Portugal.

Clarifying Strategic Focus: Research Areas Mapped

The Unite! Widening project is proud to announce the definition of four Strategic Research Areas, developed through a rigorous analysis of institutional strengths, research performance indicators, and alignment with EU policy goals. These areas not only reflect the most promising domains within our partner universities—ULisboa and WroclawTech—but also support Europe’s broader ambitions for sustainable growth, innovation, and resilience.
