UnaBo Call – Funded Projects

The UnaBo Call is a special initiative promoted by the University of Bologna to support collaborative projects with Una Europa partner universitie

The UnaBo Call supports the development of collaborative initiatives between the University of Bologna and the partner universities of the Una Europa Alliance. The initiative aims to promote innovative and interdisciplinary cooperation in research, education and societal engagement, while strengthening the active participation of the University of Bologna within the Alliance.

Through this internal call, academic staff at the University of Bologna are invited to develop pilot projects together with Una Europa partners. These initiatives are designed to stimulate new collaborations, reinforce international academic networks and lay the groundwork for future joint proposals within major European funding programmes.

The projects funded under the UnaBo Call contribute to expanding the international dimension of research and teaching at the University of Bologna, fostering knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary dialogue and long-term institutional cooperation across the Alliance.
