The Unite! community introduces itself

Unite! is a living and constantly growing alliance. Many people at the seven (soon to be nine) partner universities are working on different projects to make a European University a reality. Who they are and what exactly they do is what we show in the series “Let's Unite! – Get to know…”. This time, Arnold Pears from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology takes on.

Beatriz de Sousa Rodrigues and Pau Maza y Díaz will represent Unite! students in future

SURE! (Students in Unite! for Representation and Empowerment!) has introduced its two new spokespersons coinciding with the new phase of the alliance. They are Beatriz de Sousa Rodrigues, from ULisboa and Pau Maza, student at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (UPC). SURE! is the student representative body of the alliance and as such participates in the Unite! Steering Committee. Unite! SURE! offers students from the nine Unite! partner universities the opportunity to co-create and engage with their peers from other European universities, who can then participate in the decisions and projects implemented by the alliance. 

Discover the diversity of the TU Darmstadt

Our university is diverse, international and creative. Until 24 December, we will therefore open a little door every day on the TU website and on the TU Instagram channel and give a small seasonal insight into the university and its diverse offers and culture. Of course, this is only a small selection, and there is much more to discover.

The two vice-presidents are the rectors of two Unite! partner universities, Ilkka Niemelä from Aalto University and Daniel Crespo from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech.

Based on the feedback from the European Commission, Unite! has decided to strengthen its leadership and establish two new Vice President positions. President Ilkka Niemelä from Aalto University and Rector Daniel Crespo from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya were elected for these positions by the Academic Forum of Unite! on 29 November, 2022.

These two guidelines will help the Unite! community to work using accessible contents and events

Diversity is a key guiding value. Unite! is convinced that shared differences are an essential component of international and democratic cooperation and further, are a fundamental accelerator of social change and innovation. Therefore, the alliance strive to ensure and maintain an environment that not only celebrates and welcomes diversity, but also offers opportunities and chances for personal growth and fulfilment regardless of individual differences.

Begrüßung der Erstsemester am 17.10.

Eigentlich war alles wie immer: Bei der Erstsemester-Begrüßung hatten die „Freshers“ viele wichtige Fragen, die sie im Hörsaal und Medienzentrum (HMZ) direkt an die TU-Präsidentin Tanja Brühl und Vizepräsident Heribert Wazecha stellen durften. Die Laune auf dem Campus Lichtwiese war ausgelassen. Aufbruchstimmung lag in der Luft. Doch ganz wie immer war es trotzdem nicht: Der Ausblick auf den Winter hinterlässt einige Sorgen.
