Unite! not only works on shaping the future of European universities but also seeks to engage students in initiatives emerging within the alliance. For this purpose, students from all nine universities are invited to participate in courses, summer schools, or student festivals. Offers for both students and academic/administrative staff regularly appear on the Unite! website and the Metacampus platform.
In April, registrations close for two courses organized by partner universities within the Unite! network. Students can choose between participating in HackUPC 2023 in Barcelona or the SEEEP PhD Summer School in Shanghai.
From May 12th to 14th in Barcelona at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, the next edition of the hackathon will take place, an event full of creativity and technology. Hackathon combines the words “HACK,” meaning creatively solving problems, and “MARATHON.”
Anyone can apply, whether a student, high school student, or technical school student – the only requirement is to be at least 14 years old. Organizers aim to provide space for students at all levels of advancement from around the world. Everyone can improve and learn new skills, gain international experience, and make new friends.
More details can be found on the event’s website (https://hackupc.com/). Registrations are open until April 30th. Additional inquiries can be directed to email: contact@hackupc.com.
