A new academic year is about to begin, and UNIgreen is welcoming students across Europe!
UNIgreen Welcome Week is an opportunity for students to discover the Alliance, connect with fellow students from different European universities, and take part in activities designed to help them feel at home in their new academic environment.
Throughout a day or a week, UNIgreen partner universities are organising a variety of activities, events and experiences to welcome their students.
Whether you are joining UNIgreen for the first time or already part of our community, this is a great opportunity to meet new people, discover your university and explore what being part of a European University Alliance means.
