Digital event for Master students

Are you curious how it is to be a researcher? Are you considering doing a doctoral degree? Meet researchers who have taken this path as they share what motivated them to pursue a doctoral degree and how research has shaped their careers. On April the 8th you can meet with researchers from the Unite! universities who will tell you about their doctoral studies, what made them decide to pursue a PhD, what it is like to be a researcher and what opportunities might open up for you after your doctoral studies.

Seed Fund Initiative

The Cities in Times of Drought or Abundance project, funded by Unite! Seed Fund and led by UPC, aims to create a joint academic course exploring architectural and urban solutions to mitigate climate impacts.

Time to Put Inclusion into Action

After three years of dedicated collaboration, the IDEM project has come to a successful close. Funded from 2022 to January 2025, IDEM brought together five Unite! universities – TU Darmstadt (coordinator), UPC Barcelona, Aalto University, Universidade de Lisboa, and Grenoble INP-UGA – with Politecnico di Torino as an associate partner. Their shared mission: to make student mobility more inclusive and equitable.

Seed Fund project on developing a Joint Master’s Programme focusing on Games for Health

Although Serious Games have demonstrated their value in improving health outcomes, the current deficit in knowledge and educational programs poses a significant challenge that must be overcome. The Seed Fund initiative “Unite! Games4Health” aims to establish an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Programme (EMJM) focused on the development and application of Serious Games for health, known as Games for Health (G4H). It seeks to bridge this gap by fostering collaboration between game developers and healthcare experts. By bringing together these two fields, they aim to create a comprehensive understanding of how Serious Games can be effectively utilized in various healthcare settings. Serious Games are designed not only for entertainment, but also to achieve specific goals such as enhancing learning, promoting behaviour change and supporting health prevention and rehabilitation.

This fall 30 Unite! students will be heading by train from Darmstadt to Graz, focusing on entrepreneurship, sustainability, and multicultural collaboration.
