Una Europa is an alliance of 11 European universities, including UCD, who share the common goal of developing a truly European University of the Future.
The alliance was launched in 2019, inspired by the European Commission’s European Universities Initiative, with the aim of encouraging greater strategic collaboration and mobility between European institutions. Together, Una Europa’s partner universities have a network of almost 600,000 students and over 100,000 staff.
The 11 European universities are:
- University College Dublin/ An Coláiste Ollscoile Baile Átha Cliath

- Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna
- University of Edinburgh
- Helsingin yliopisto/ Helsingfors universitet

Una Europa’s mission is to build a joint educational offering fit for the graduates of the future. By providing multidisciplinary, research-based education at all levels of Higher Education, Una Europa is ensuring that graduates are future-ready in an interconnected and rapidly changing world. Our students will be truly European graduates, equipped with the knowledge, skills and competences needed to play an important role in society and to tackle future global challenges.
The alliance community is Una Europa’s driving force: students, academics, researchers and professional staff are being empowered to develop bottom-up activities and to take on central roles in the alliance’s governing bodies. Developing broad mobility pathways for students and staff is the utmost priority for Una Europa, with a focus on accessible, inclusive and sustainable physical, blended and virtual mobility.
Una Europa focuses on six interdisciplinary research areas, made up of academics from each of the partner institutions:
- Future Materials
- One Health
- Cultural Heritage
- Sustainability
- Europe and the World
- Data Science & Artificial Intelligence
In addition, six transversal themes provide our guiding principles for collaboration:
- Diversity and Inclusion
- International Dimension
- Sustainability and Climate Protection
- Teaching and Learning (Student-centred and research-driven, informed by cultural and linguistic awareness)
- Mobility (Students / Professional Staff / Academic Staff)
- Research & Innovation
