Una Europa Student Association 

Una Europa Student Association (UESA) is a student-led community that brings together UCD students interested in shaping the university of the future by engaging in six Una Europa focus areas: Cultural Heritage, Sustainability, Europe & the World, One Health, Data & AI, Future Materials and Technologies.

The association aims to foster intercultural and interdisciplinary exchange, collaboration, and active student participation in shaping the future of European higher education in line with Una Europa mission, vision and values. UESA organises events, projects and other initiatives around the focus areas that promote innovation, inclusivity and international dialogue. 

UESA members are encouraged to submit proposals for funding to implement events and projects for UCD students, students from the Una Europa partner universities, as well as the wider community. Some examples of initiatives that members can apply for are talks, discussions (panel, roundtable, fishbowls), exhibitions, hackathons, idea incubators, knowledge exchange hubs, world cafes, workshops, projects, programmes, research or awareness-raising campaigns.
