Unite! Widening
Unite! Widening project was conceived as a complementary project under the umbrella of the European university alliance Unite! Its core objective is to elevate scientific excellence and enhance the valorisation of knowledge across the alliance’s member universities by fostering deeper, more integrated collaboration with institutions from both Widening and non-Widening countries. Additionally, the project serves as a platform to reinforce and expand the achievements of the Unite! H2020 initiative, in particular, to become a role model for a competitive European university alliance producing top-class R&I and combining it with a virtual and physically seamless interuniversity campus, embedded in a network of innovative regions, aiming at a more sustainable world.
