Over the three days, various activities were carried out that allowed participants to learn a little more about the culture of all Unite! member countries, discover Lisbon and reflect and debate ideas on each of the themes.

The team work developed in the first two days resulted in the presentation of 18 Pitch, on the last day, to a full audience at the Great Hall of the University of Lisbon, with extremely important proposals for the Unite! and, consequently, for the University of the Future.
