Una Europa for UCD academics & researchers

Guided by the 2030 Strategy, Una Europa is working to create a truly inter-university and pan-European campus, shaped by universities’ obligations to society.

UCD academics and researchers can take advantage of the Una Europa alliance to:

  • Find collaborators in your field, and beyond, through interdisciplinary match-making events and networking opportunities.
  • Share your expertise via mobility fellowships.
  • Gain access to funded opportunities.
  • Take advantage of doctoral training and summer/winter schools as a doctoral researcher.

How to get involved 

Focus areas

Una Europa has six Focus Areas – each one is led by an academic Self-Steering Committee:

  1. Cultural Heritage
  2. Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
  3. Future Materials
  4. Europe and the World
  5. One Health
  6. Sustainability

Una Europa’s Focus Areas gather researchers from diverse disciplines to foster academic collaboration and jointly design innovative educational formats. The Self-Steering Committees are interdisciplinary hubs that drive the alliance’s progress across education, research and societal impact.

Connect with academics and researchers across the Una Europa alliance via the Self-Steering Committees. Details of UCD Committee members are in the table below.
