To this end, the UNITA alliance provides dedicated spaces and tools to facilitate interaction and promote stronger connections among members of University staff communities. Discovering UNITA communities: matching events, hubs, cartography and more Hubs Research activities within UNITA are structured around six thematic hubs (\uf0e0 Link to Hubs), characterized by a cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary approach: Green Energy Circular Economy and Environment Cultural Heritage Digital Transitions Global Health Inclusive Societies The hubs enable collaborative initiatives to develop within their research communities. They encourage to submit joint projects and advertise UNITA or joint-opportunities (activities, research funding..). By creating joint activities such as Blended intensive programmes or summer schools, they build interfaces between research, education and societal challenges. Visit the page and learn more about hubs. Research cartography UNITA Research cartography lists individuals and teams wishing to develop collaborations within the alliance on research topics\/projects that are emerging, underway, or already the subject of a great deal of work. The research cartography is updated every year by means of a call for expressions of interest distributed to all UNITA researchers and teachers\/researchers. By making this database available to the community, the research cartography helps researchers to find partners and develop consortia for new projects. Matching events Matching events are short, 2-day events consisting of meetings and sharing of information and experiences about joint projects in research or education. These are moments of strong community building. While bringing together participants coming from all the institutions of the alliance, their main added value lies in the multicultural and multidisciplinary background, but also in the strong motivation of all participants to build collaborations. Focus: matching events for research The UNITA European Alliance organizes several research Matching Events throughout the year, focusing on the six thematic hubs of UNITA\u2019s research strategy. These events are hosted on a rotating basis in the cities of the Alliance\u2019s universities. During a Matching Event, participants have the opportunity to: Present their research area. Meet colleagues from other UNITA universities. Exchange best practices Explore potential collaborations and projects in the field of research and education. With the goal of fostering a transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to education and scientific research, the main objective of UNITA\u2019s Matching Events is to facilitate connections among researchers from diverse scientific fields, united by common research interests and topics. How to Participate Each Matching Event allows a maximum of 48 participants representing all the universities. Each institution has got a fixed number of available spots.\u00a0 Matching events research organised Fit-sized facilitation\u00a0 You strive to develop joint projects but you could not take part in the abovementioned programmes? As an alternative, get in touch with the UNITA office in your institution or with the hub\u2019s local representative. Tell them more about your project or your expectations. They could get you in touch with appropriate partners within the alliance. Starting projects and collaborations UNITA Starting Grants The UNITA Starting Grants on Research aim to accelerate the development of inter-university research groups composed of faculty members and researchers who share a common interest in a specific field of knowledge. These grants support the exchange of best practices and the initiation of joint projects. Following Research matching events (see above), calls for proposals for Starting Grants aim at funding new initiatives, between min. 3 partners from different countries. Projects maximal duration is 12 months. The grants, up to 5000 euros per institutional partner, are able to fund travel costs mostly, but also some other costs. In order to be eligible, projects should fall within a thematic scope defined in the rules and regulation, and validated by the relevant hub. Eligible participants are not to be at the benefit of a previous UNITA starting grant. Find the calls Deepening collaborations UNITA Advanced Grants In research, after the call for starting grants, 6 calls for advanced grants are released since April 2026. Accessible only for research teams benefitting of a starting grant, the advanced grants aim at supporting the best projects that prove to be the most interesting for the enhancement of community building among Alliance partners even with regard to participation in European or international calls. More details will be available soon. Education support and coach for internationalisation Follow-up workshops take place after matching events in Education. They target participants\u2019 working-groups in an advanced stage of developing joint projects in the area of curricula internationalization. It aims at supporting the elaboration of these joint projects.\u00a0 The European project\u00a0Recipes for internationalisation\u00a0 offers a set of tools, personalised advice and support for those who wish to increase their initiative into sustainable joint educational collaboration.

The research cartography is updated every year by means of a call for expressions of interest distributed to all UNITA researchers and teachers\/researchers. By making this database available to the community, the research cartography helps researchers to find partners and develop consortia for new projects. Matching events Matching events are short, 2-day events consisting of meetings and sharing of information and experiences about joint projects in research or education. These are moments of strong community building. While bringing together participants coming from all the institutions of the alliance, their main added value lies in the multicultural and multidisciplinary background, but also in the strong motivation of all participants to build collaborations. Focus: matching events for research The UNITA European Alliance organizes several research Matching Events throughout the year, focusing on the six thematic hubs of UNITA\u2019s research strategy. These events are hosted on a rotating basis in the cities of the Alliance\u2019s universities. During a Matching Event, participants have the opportunity to: Present their research area. Meet colleagues from other UNITA universities. Exchange best practices Explore potential collaborations and projects in the field of research and education. With the goal of fostering a transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to education and scientific research, the main objective of UNITA\u2019s Matching Events is to facilitate connections among researchers from diverse scientific fields, united by common research interests and topics. How to Participate Each Matching Event allows a maximum of 48 participants representing all the universities. Each institution has got a fixed number of available spots.\u00a0 Matching events research organised Fit-sized facilitation\u00a0 You strive to develop joint projects but you could not take part in the abovementioned programmes?

They could get you in touch with appropriate partners within the alliance. Starting projects and collaborations UNITA Starting Grants The UNITA Starting Grants on Research aim to accelerate the development of inter-university research groups composed of faculty members and researchers who share a common interest in a specific field of knowledge. These grants support the exchange of best practices and the initiation of joint projects. Following Research matching events (see above), calls for proposals for Starting Grants aim at funding new initiatives, between min. 3 partners from different countries. Projects maximal duration is 12 months. The grants, up to 5000 euros per institutional partner, are able to fund travel costs mostly, but also some other costs. In order to be eligible, projects should fall within a thematic scope defined in the rules and regulation, and validated by the relevant hub. Eligible participants are not to be at the benefit of a previous UNITA starting grant. Find the calls Deepening collaborations UNITA Advanced Grants In research, after the call for starting grants, 6 calls for advanced grants are released since April 2026. Accessible only for research teams benefitting of a starting grant, the advanced grants aim at supporting the best projects that prove to be the most interesting for the enhancement of community building among Alliance partners even with regard to participation in European or international calls. More details will be available soon. Education support and coach for internationalisation Follow-up workshops take place after matching events in Education. They target participants\u2019 working-groups in an advanced stage of developing joint projects in the area of curricula internationalization.
