  • UNIgreen Cluster at HEPL

    Launching Interdisciplinary Dialogue Around “One Health”

    HEPL, University-College of the Province of Liège (Belgium) hosted its first official UNIgreen Cluster event on April 17th, 2025, within the framework of the “Nourrir Liège” Festival. The event marked a significant milestone as the first cluster implemented in the UNIgreen Alliance, dedicated to fostering collaboration among academia, students, researchers, and civil society around sustainability themes.

    Context and Objectives

    The cluster was strategically organized around the theme of “One Health”, an integrated approach recognizing the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health. The event capitalized on the timing of the annual “Nourrir Liège” Festival, which emphasizes local food systems and sustainable agronomy practices. By aligning with a broader public initiative, HEPL aimed to foster real-world dialogue and synergies.

    This initiative was part of UNIgreen’s WP6, focused on the “Knowledge Triangle program”, which connects education, research, and industry. HEPL’s goal was to test a cluster format that could serve as a model for future UNIgreen activities, while exploring how the One Health paradigm could inform both research initiatives and curricular development.

    Participants and Format

    The roundtable was held at the Erasmus House in Liège and gathered 16 engaged participants, including:

    • Two department directors (Health and Agronomy)
    • Five HEPL academic staff
    • Two students in health sciences
    • Seven external stakeholders: representatives from the B2Health cluster (organisation that aims to facilitate coordination between the various players in the life sciences ecosystem in Liège), Celabor (a multi-skilled scientific and technical partner to support companies in the field of agri-food, the environment, packaging, paper/cardboard and textiles), Belgian Fairtrade Federation, EFDD (Education and Training for Sustainable Development), and independent experts in environmental health and veterinary sciences.

    The event began with presentations introducing the UNIgreen Alliance, WP6 goals, and the cluster concept. This was followed by a showcase of ongoing research and thesis projects by students and faculty of the Health Department, specifically in dietetics—an area naturally connected to One Health.

    Discussion Highlights

    The roundtable quickly evolved into a lively, solution-oriented exchange. Key topics included:

    • How to encourage synergy between academia, industry, and civil actors
    • Challenges in research: lack of infrastructure, funding, and institutional culture
    • Integrating One Health and sustainability more structurally into curricula
    • Intellectual property, ownership of student thesis results, and visibility
    • The need for interdisciplinary language and mutual understanding between sectors

    Participants shared inspiring examples of research and mobility projects, including collaborations with African partners, thesis work on sustainable food practices, and reflections on green transition challenges in both the global North and South.

    Crucially, several participants called for concrete next steps: launching interdisciplinary projects, creating One Health-related study tracks, and developing applied research relevant to regional food ecosystems. The notion of moving “from discussion to implementation” emerged as a unifying theme.

    Impact and Next Steps

    Feedback was overwhelmingly positive. All participants expressed interest in continuing the dialogue, and a memorandum of understanding was circulated following the event. The cluster format was appreciated for its openness, transversality, and ability to bring diverse actors into constructive conversation.

    The HEPL cluster serves as a pilot within UNIgreen, demonstrating how local institutional initiatives can feed into broader European collaboration. It directly contributes to WP6’s KPIs in terms of stakeholder engagement, knowledge exchange, and curricular innovation.

    Looking forward, HEPL plans to:

    • Renew and specialize future clusters (e.g., focused on curriculum reform or applied research)
    • Leverage Job Days or existing improvement committees as UNIgreen-compatible events
    • Involve more students and industry representatives in discussions
    • Strengthen alignment with the UNIgreen Green Transition Strategy

    Conclusion

    HEPL’s first UNIgreen Cluster illustrates the potential of the Knowledge Triangle when anchored in local context and sustainability-driven goals. The success of this event lays the foundation for continued engagement, and it positions HEPL as a proactive contributor within the UNIgreen Alliance, committed to building bridges between knowledge, practice, and purpose.

  • UNIgreen Erasmus+ BIP at UAL: plant fertility

    A Erasmus+ BIP UNIgreen program at the University of Almeria trained for a week a group of students from 6 foreign universities in the assessment of fertility of cultivated plants.

    The University of Almeria (UAL) organized a one-week intensive course on the assessment of floral fertility, entitled “From Flower to Fruit: Methods and Techniques for Assessing Floral Fertility”, from February 3 to 7.

    The program, coordinated by Professor Julián Cuevas González, full professor Virginia Pinillos Villatoro and postdoctoral researcher Irene Salinas Romero, addressed the problem of lack of fruiting in cultivated plants, especially in protected environments where pollinator access is limited, as well as the climatic conditions that can affect plant fertility.

    Participants were undergraduate, masters and PhD students in Agronomy, Botany, Plant Ecology, Biology, Environmental Sciences and Forestry from McMaster University (Canada), Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi (Romania), the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Bucharest (Romania), the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (Poland), the Polytechnic of Coimbra (Portugal) and the Università Degli Studi di Modena (Italy), the latter three being members of the UNIgreen European University Alliance coordinated by the UAL.

    The main objective of the course was to train them in the fundamentals and methodology for assessing reproductive success and failure in cultivated plants, with a focus on the measurement of male (pollen) and female (gynoecium) fertility; on the measurement of floral attractiveness and rewards for pollinating insects, as well as their effect on insects; and on the assessment of reproductive success by measuring fertilization levels and initial and final fruit and seed set, as well as the analysis of fruit and seed abortion.

    The course combined theoretical activities, online collaborative work and practical sessions in the laboratories of the UAL and visits to companies in the sector, such as Agrobio.

  • UNIgreen Festival 2025 in Liège

    From 7 to 11 April 2025, the College-University of the Province of Liège (HEPL) proudly hosted the 2025 edition of the UNIgreen Festival, welcoming students from across the Alliance for a week full of learning, exchange, and celebration.

    After a previous edition in Warsaw (SGGW), the festival found a new home in Belgium, combined with a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), reaffirming UNIgreen’s commitment to fostering intercultural dialogue and student involvement.

    A Festival to Celebrate Diversity and Inclusion

    Centered on the themes of interculturality, diversity, and inclusion, the festival gathered around 40 students from each UNIgreen institution. The week offered them a platform to discuss their role within the Alliance, share experiences, and explore how UNIgreen can evolve with their input.

    Through a dynamic program of interactive workshops, powerful conferences, cultural events, and networking opportunities, the festival created a safe and inspiring space for expression and connection.

    “It was more than just an academic program, it was a week of emotion, discovery, and unforgettable encounter.”

    With meaningful discussions, strong friendships, and shared experiences, the Liège edition set a new standard for what student-centered international events can be.

  • UNIgreen has adopted a new Internationalisation Strategy

    UNIgreen has adopted a new Internationalisation Strategy that will guide our Alliance in fulfilling our common vision.

    For the academic community, it is natural to have many links abroad and that science crosses national horizons. The standalone internationalisation strategy of UNIgreen aims to help develop a seamless internationalisation, develop the Alliance as such and spread its good name within and beyond the borders of the European Union. 

    Internationalisation is not a separate goal but a fundamental characteristic of UNIgreen. It permeates every aspect of our activities, making our campuses vibrant, dynamic, and globally engaged.  

    To achieve our vision, five strategic objectives have been defined:   

    • Well-focused global engagement of the UNIgreen Alliance.
    • Strengthening and increasing mobility within the Alliance. 
    • UNIgreen International Alumni network.
    • Unified international marketing /communication strategy and promotion of the Alliance.
    • More welcoming environment for international students and staff.

  • UNIgreen has reinforced its Alliance and strengthened its foundations at UAL

    The first Joint International Centre Working Meeting of UNIgreen has ended after two and a half days of intense work, meetings, debate, and personal relationships among more than 100 representatives of the eight institutions that make up the Alliance. The great effort had its reward since the Alliance has made significant progress in the objectives of UNIgreen.

    In addition to the meetings of the nine work packages, the Board of Directors and the Management Panel (the Alliance’s operational body) met. On the third and final day, the participants held inter-working group meetings to deal with cross-cutting issues that jointly affect various areas of the Alliance. They established joint action plans at these meetings and defined how each work package could contribute to different actions and deliverables.

    The acting Rector of UAL, Carmelo Rodríguez, thanked the participants for the great effort in this crucial UNIgreen meeting, which has substantially boosted its development. Furthermore, he has confirmed that he will maintain his connection with the Alliance even after he completes his term as the Rector of the University of Almeria.

    Tomás Lorenzana, general coordinator of UNIgreen, The green European University, has presented the general conclusions to all attendees and thanked them for their willingness and good work. “It has been a great opportunity to see each other in person and to discuss and progress in achieving our objectives. I hope that we all got a real idea of the enormous dimension of our Alliance and the progress we have achieved in these two and a half days here in Almeria. Of course, there are still many years of work to come”.

    He also pointed out the importance of this event: “Until now, each WP has focused on its area of expertise. This event helped everyone to realise and be aware of the work of each work package (WP) since almost all of them are interrelated and have joint issues that we must explore. “

    María Fernanda Rodríguez, responsible for European Projects at UAL and technical coordinator of UNIgreen, emphasised that “Overall, the Alliance is moving in the right direction with its agenda. Although some work packages’ schedules require adjustments, the different units, coordinators, and co-coordinators manage them efficiently.

    She has also indicated that “all the annual work plans, which are the main planning instruments of the units, are almost ready. During our first meeting, we established a foundation of understanding that work packages are not isolated compartments. Often, activities overlap and require coordination with other work packages. By realising this, we can collaborate more efficiently and effectively. That’s why we believe understanding these interrelationships will increase awareness of the transforming process our institutions are experiencing.”

    This first annual in-person meeting tested the Alliance functionality and the Alliance announced that the 2nd Joint International Centre Working Meeting will take place from 13th to 16th of October 2024 at the Agricultural University of Iceland.

  • UNIgreen in Action at AUP

    Within the UNIgreen Alliance, sustainability, inclusion, and innovation are translated into practice through experiential learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and strong links with local communities.

    This approach was clearly demonstrated through the participation of students from the Plant Protection and Ecology and Environmental Protection programmes in the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) “Food Waste Management: From Farm to Fork.”

    The participating students Antonio Georgiev, Viktor Karabadzhakov, Nedelina Koeva, Nikolay Monev, and Ivana Lazarova has worked on concrete challenges related to food loss prevention, sustainable agriculture, and responsible consumption.

    The programe was organised by University of Foggia, in partnership with Stefan Batory State University of Skierniewice and Agricultural University-Plovdiv.

    Academic staff played an active role, Assoc. Prof. Anna Karova, gave lectures on “Agroecological solutions and climate-smart practices to prevent food losses,” linking scientific research with practical application.

    The on-site phase, held from 9 to 13 January 2026 in Accadia, Italy, embodied UNIgreen’s hands-on learning model. Students collaborated in international teams, participated in applied workshops, visited local farms and enterprises, engaged with food producers, and cooked using local products. These activities connected academic knowledge with real-life sustainability practices, while fostering intercultural exchange and social inclusion.

    By combining research-based teaching, student engagement, and community interaction, this initiative reflects the UNIgreen Alliance’s commitment to educating responsible professionals and co-creating sustainable solutions. The successful cooperation also led to the planning of a future Erasmus+ BIP to be hosted in Plovdiv, further strengthening the alliance and its shared mission.”

  • UNIgreen in Action at HEPL

    Over five inspiring days, teachers from UNIgreen and partner institutions across Europe came together for an intensive learning experience dedicated to “Designing a Sustainable and Responsible Education Program”. The event created a vibrant space for exchange, where participants shared insights from their own institutions while exploring innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

    Through interactive workshops and collaborative discussions, teachers engaged with key themes including project-based learning and bioethics, design thinking methodologies, diversity, and the understanding of fundamental human needs. The program emphasized hands-on practice, enabling participants to experiment, reflect, and co-create ideas in real time.

    More than a training, the event served as a catalyst for transformation. Participants left equipped with concrete tools, fresh perspectives, and renewed motivation to integrate sustainability and responsibility into their curricula. By blending theory with practice and dialogue with experimentation, this week empowered teachers to become active designers of meaningful learning environments for their students.

    This project was created by UNIgreen members at HEPL but also teachers and co-workers involved in sustainable projects, such as in agronomy or biochemistry. Their objective was not only to teach people something but also improve their own expertise with new inputs from different backgrounds. This initiative fits perfectly with UNIgreen’s commitment to sustainability and diversity.
