The European University Alliance Unite!, of which Instituto Superior Técnico, through Universidade de Lisboa, is a member, is launching Unite!’s Networking Hubs, designed for academic and administrative staff from Unite! Universities. The first session took place on 21 October 2025.
Unite!’s Networking Hubs are a virtual space where all faculty and staff from the nine universities in the Unite! alliance can meet informally and discuss a topic proposed in advance. In these hubs, colleagues can connect and engage with peers facing similar challenges and share best practices.
The sessions will take place online from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month and will be a space for discussing a wide range of topics related to teaching, research, academic management, IT, and human resources, among others. Participants are invited to propose topics for discussion and apply to host a session.
The upcoming sessions are as follows:
- November 18 – “Community Building at our Universities: Sharing Initiatives and Experiences”
- December 16 – “Long-term online courses: practical aspects, student engagement, and workload”
- January 20, 2026 – “Quantum Computing in Education”
