At the University of Bologna, students can benefit from a wide range of international opportunities. One of them is UnaVEx – Una Europa Virtual Exchange for Sustainability, an online programme that brings together students from European and African universities to discuss and act on today’s global sustainability challenges.
Organised by the University of Helsinki and funded by Erasmus+, with the active participation of UniBo as a Una Europa partner, UnaVEx allows students to experience an international exchange without leaving Bologna. Across five online sessions – on 13, 20, 27 November and 4 and 11 December 2025 – participants will attend inspirational talks by international experts and collaborate in interdisciplinary teams to design concrete sustainability actions.
The programme is inclusive and open to all study fields. No prior expertise in sustainability is required: the aim is to create a dialogue across disciplines, foster intercultural exchange and build key skills such as collaboration, problem solving and communication in international contexts. Participation also awards 1 ECTS.
