As part of the Unite.WIDENING project, the Unite! alliance is organising a matchmaking with the aim of forging new consortia for highly promising Horizon Europe applications. The event is addressed to researchers of the Unite! university alliance, as well as the non-academic partners of the project.
The landscape of European higher education reached a significant milestone recently with the launch of the Unite! Widening Digital Campus in November 2025, an initiative dedicated to bridging the gap between academia and industry. Important to this initiative is also Agora, a virtual platform that serves as a “meeting point” for universities, researchers, and students to engage directly with external businesses and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs)
A Strategic Forum for Connecting Scientific Excellence with Market Success
We are pleased to announce a dedicated session focusing on the synergy between advanced research and commercial implementation. This forum will highlight successful strategies for transforming intellectual property into scalable business solutions.
After one year of implementation, the project’s LinkedIn dissemination strategy has proven to be a powerful driver of visibility, engagement, and institutional positioning. With strong organic reach, solid engagement rates, and a clear alignment with European higher education priorities, the campaign demonstrates how data-driven communication can translate visibility into meaningful interaction. The 2025 Dissemination Report reveals what worked, where the impact was strongest, and how strategic optimization can further scale results.
In today’s rapidly evolving research landscape, innovative ideas alone are often insufficient for success; researchers also require the appropriate skills, networks, and institutional support. In response to this need, the UNITE! Widening Training Series provides a comprehensive, international learning programme designed to strengthen the capabilities of researchers at all career stages.
Unite.WIDENING is leveling the playing field for European innovation. We are ensuring that talent in Poland and Portugal leads, rather than just joins, the continent’s most ambitious research projects. Following recent recognition from CORDIS, our project is accelerating its impact through a combination of specialized training series, deep industry integration, and innovative digital hubs like the AGORA platform.
Wrocław University of Science and Technology, in cooperation with Universidade de Lisboa, is pleased to announce the launch of the call for applications for the Industry-Embedded Doctoral School, an initiative within the framework of the Unite.WIDENING project.
We would like to invite staff and faculty from all Unite! partner universities to participate as trainers, lecturers, and mentors to design the Widening Training Series for Researchers. Join us in shaping a practical, hands-on programme that not only enhances their skills but also builds concrete collaborations and long-term cooperation within the alliance.
Turin turned into a hub of innovation and exchange as Politecnico di Torino hosted the Unite! Widening Staff Training Week, bringing together administrative professionals from across Europe for five days of hands-on sessions, campus visits and cross-border networking. From deep dives into research support to spontaneous idea exchanges over coffee, the event showcased how collaboration can spark fresh perspectives in research and innovation services.
