For European University alliances, smooth cross-border collaboration is the engine of innovation. Under the Unite!Widening project, our mission is clear: to elevate scientific excellence and maximize knowledge valorisation by building bridges between Widening and non-Widening institutions. But to truly collaborate, we need the right tools—and we need to know how to use them.
Enter the Unite! Agora platform.
As the digital backbone supporting a rapidly expanding ecosystem of joint activities—including training initiatives, staff weeks, surveys, and multi-partner event coordination—the Agora platform is critical to our shared success.
To help our community navigate and harness its full potential, we are hosting a practical, interactive Agora Hands-On Training Session on Thursday, 28 May 2026, from 12:00 to 14:00 CET.
Why Attend? The Strategic Value for Widening Partners
In the realm of EU-funded projects, administrative efficiency and visibility are key drivers of sustainability. For researchers, project managers, and administrative staff from Widening countries, mastering the Agora platform is a direct route to:
- Boosting Collaboration: Learn how to co-design and manage joint activities seamlessly.
- Enhancing Resource Accessibility: Discover how to list, structure, and locate shared services and research assets across the alliance.
- Amplifying Impact: Utilize built-in showcase tools to share research successes, projects, and milestone achievements with the wider European scientific community.
This informal, collaborative session is designed to be a “safe space” to share challenges, swap best practices, and ask direct questions.
Proposed Agenda
Designed to be dynamic and highly practical, the two-hour “lunch-and-learn” agenda covers the essential modules of the platform:
- General Introduction & Examples of the Unite! Agora (15 min): Overview of the platform, key functionalities, and examples of current use cases across Unite! activities and projects.
- Events Management (30 min): From creation to registration, communication workflows, and digital attendance tracking.
- Catalogues & Resources (30 min): Structuring and managing catalogues, resources, and service information to improve accessibility and collaboration..
- Showcases & Dissemination (15 min): Presenting projects, initiatives, and success stories through showcase functionalities and dissemination tools.
