Join us virtually for one of the highlights of the Una Europa General Assembly in Bologna – the Una Europa Talk.

About the Talk
Una Europa Talks foster dialogue between academia and the public. In this edition, experts consider how European Universities alliances have introduced new modes of cooperation in a rapidly evolving international context, characterised by challenges such as demographic changes, migration, limited financial resources, and growing environmental concerns.
Drawing on the expertise of panellists Prof Appiah Amfo (University of Ghana) and Dr Pietro Venturi (European Commission), the Talk will examine how universities can formulate global strategies that not only highlight the distinctive features of each institution but also identify synergies with others.
Participants will explore how international cooperation can achieve a balance between inter-institutional integration and competition among partners, fostering a sustainable model in the long term.
