Building Europe’s Digital Campus: Shared Lessons from Unite! #tugraz

At TU Graz, we have led Unite!’s Digital Campus work package, working with our partner universities to connect digital infrastructures and support teaching and learning across borders.

On 13 October 2026, we shared experiences from this collaboration at a hybrid event hosted by KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. As work package lead, I introduced the Unite! Technical Commission’s role in coordinating the alliance’s digital development. Together with my colleagues from across Unite!, we explored shared access to learning platforms, system interoperability, the European Student Card Initiative and digital governance.

The event brought together 78 participants, including 43 from other universities and alliances – highlighting strong interest in exchanging practical knowledge beyond Unite!.

For us, this exchange reinforced the value of combining technical expertise with close institutional cooperation as we work towards a connected European learning environment.
