The Unite!Widening project, launched in January 2024, seeks to weave itself into the fabric of the European University Alliance Unite!’s ecosystem, with a spotlight on the green transition and Horizon Europe Mission areas. This initiative sparked a dynamic three-part event series across Europe: from ULisboa’s Técnico Lisboa, Politecnico di Torino and Wroclaw Tech.
On June 18th , Wroclaw Tech hosted the event “EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change Workshop”, as the third part of Unite!Widening conference project. The event aimed to establish strategic research priorities specifically for Widening countries, which seek to increase their involvement in research and development activities , connected with EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change programs.
You’re warmly welcomed to be part of the EU Mission’s Unite!Widening Workshop on Climate Change Adaptation. The aim of the event is to present the participation possibilities in the EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change programs and calls.

On May 17th, Politecnico di Torino hosted in its historical venue, Castello del Valentino, the Unite!Widening workshop: “Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities European EU Mission” . The event was conceived in the framework of the “Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities” Horizon EU Mission, which aims to reach 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. The ultimate goal is for these cities to turn into experimentation and innovation hubs leading all European cities to become climate neutral by 2050.
The Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities plays a significant role in contributing to the green transition. It involves local, regional and national authorities, citizens and businesses to deliver 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030 and ensure that these cities act as Experimentation and Innovation Hubs to enable all European cities to follow suit by 2050.
On March 22nd, ULisboa’s Técnico Lisboa hosted the Unite!Widening project’s “Mission Restore our Ocean and Waters” conference. Unite!Widening is a project launched in January 2024 and designed to become part of the European University Alliance Unite! ecosystem.
