Imagine a university that offers you all the schooling from nine European high-profile scientific universities. Imagine how mobility between these nine campus can be simplified thanks to common procedures and services that will allow you to live the digital campus experience, whenever you want to. Imagine innovative learning methods, and being able to learn a language as well as discovering different European cultures thanks to your study program! European alliance Unite! makes all of the above possible. University Grenoble Alpes is part of this partnership, along with 8 other European universities.

In concrete terms, Unite! will achieve these objectives though the following activities:

For students

• Mobility, both physical and virtual within the Unite! network is possible for all students of partner universities. Students can participate in joint programs, summer schools, online courses as well as short mobility programs.

For Doctoral Students

• Doctoral students can participate in programs collectively elaborated among Unite! partners for which research is closely linked to learning process, innovation and entrepreneurship.
• Mobility in the Unite! network is also possible within the framework of scientific collaborations.

For Staff

• All staff working in Unite! partner universities can carry out mobilities, especially during themed Staff Weeks.
• Staff are encouraged to participate in Unite!work packages when relevant.
• Staff have access to the Teaching and Learning Academy, which aims to guide teachers develop flexible and pedagogically innovative academic career.
