Unite! and the Magalh\u00e3es Network are joining forces to explore new opportunities for academic cooperation between Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. This initiative could open up new possibilities for international collaboration for the universities belonging to both networks, including Wroc\u0142aw Tech.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The ambition is to develop initiatives that go beyond individual university partnerships, bringing institutions from both networks together around shared priorities in education, research and innovation. A Letter of Intent, signed during the Magalh\u00e3es General Assembly in Mexico, marks the first concrete step towards this goal.<\/p>\n

The letter was signed during the recent General Assembly of the Magalh\u00e3es Network, hosted by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). It formalises both networks\u2019 commitment to identifying areas for joint activities and building on the academic connections already established between their member universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to build on what our institutions already do together, while giving more members of our communities the opportunity to participate. For students, researchers and university staff, the potential benefits include new opportunities for international mobility, joint educational and research projects, and access to expertise and research facilities across the two networks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Vivien Qu\u00e9ma, President of Unite!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roberto Zanino, Rector\u2019s Senior Advisor for International University Networks and Unite! at Politecnico di Torino, who recently completed his second term as President of Magalh\u00e3es, welcomes the agreement as a natural development of the existing links between the two networks.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven Magalh\u00e3es\u2019 focus on engineering and architecture, and the fact that six of Unite!\u2019s nine members also belong to the network, cooperation with Unite! was a natural direction to pursue. I am very pleased that we have now reached this first concrete milestone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Roberto Zanino, Key Liaison Officer, Politecnico di Torino<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next step will be an online matchmaking event, jointly organised by the steering committees of both networks in 2027. It will bring interested universities together to identify common research and educational interests, connect teams and explore potential joint initiatives. The outcomes will help determine the priorities and next stages of cooperation.<\/p>\n
