Do you have an innovative idea on how to improve your campus and the Transform4Europe Alliance?
Form an international team with students from three T4EU universities and apply for project funding by developing initiatives that promote collaboration, sustainability, and well-being at university level.
Each initiative should connect students across the Alliance, encouraging cooperation and mutual understanding, and fostering a stronger sense of belonging to one shared transnational campus.
Are you a T4EU student with a passion for performing?
Are you a musician, actor, comedian, dancer, or emerging artist? Step into the spotlight at Fest’U 2026, a lively arts festival in Saint-Étienne, France, happening on May 28–29.

The Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) invites students, researchers, and staff of T4EU partner universities to join the Science Communication Workshop “Communicating Sustainability Sustainably: Case Studies on Burnout and Being the Change“
The workshop will take place on 3 and 10 December 2025, from 15.00-17.00 (EET / UTC+2), via MS Teams.
How to put scientific knowledge about the ecological and societal shifts ahead into practice? The two-part lecture and seminar provide personal insights into several projects designed to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire behavioral change, with particular attention to their organisational dimensions. Can we truly “be the change we need” without facing burnout or hypocrisy? How can one navigate the balance between integrity and strategic compromise?
Participants who complete the workshop will receive a certificate of attendance issued by T4EU.

Important: the activity carried out at the Academy corresponds to a type 4 activity in the record book for the Recognition of credits in PhD programmes. It can be recognised for a maximum of 2.5 CFU and will be evaluated by the Doctoral Teaching Body. Please consult UniTS’s credit attribution rules and discuss with your supervisor or coordinator, following also the dedicated T4EU guidelines. Failure to comply with these guidelines will preclude credit recognition.
Eligibility
Two successful candidates will be chosen. Eligible PhD candidates at the University of Trieste must:
The T4EU PhD Tracks are doctoral projects that combine a home university supervisor with an advisor from another T4EU partner university, to add an international dimension to the PhD.
The candidate remains a doctoral student at their home university, but carries out a portion of their PhD education, research, or mobility at one or more T4EU partner institutions under the guidance of the external advisor(s)
Phd Students will have the chance to meet up in person and learn more about the PhD Tracks proposals and other opportunities at the Matchmaking event hosted in Saint-Etienne from 25 to 28 November 2025.
Would you like to be contacted by T4EU coordinator to talk about the Phd Tracks and other T4Eu opportunities for PhD students?
What are Thesis bundles?
T4EU Thesis Bundles bring together PhD supervisors and their students from different disciplines to work on a common central research theme.The aim is to create groups of academics from different T4EU universities working on related questions together with their PhD Students.
These bundles function as multidisciplinary research clusters, forming an interdisciplinary scientific community.
Regular interactions will take place throughout the duration of the cluster project (ideally for a minimum of two years), including for example exchanges and visits within research units, common activities and communication about their work. At least one international mobility per year should be suggested and financially supported for the members in the scientific community.
If you are a PhD student you can either join an existing Thesis bundle or suggest a new one together with your supervisor.
Phd Students will have the chance to meet up in person and learn more about the Thesis Bundles proposals and other opportunities at the Matchmaking event hosted in Saint-Étienne at JMU University from 25 to 28 November 2025.
Would you like to be contacted by T4EU coordinator to talk about the Thesis bundles and other T4Eu opportunities for PhD students?
Jean Monnet University will host the Matchmaking event from 25 to 28 November 2025. The meeting will bring together academic staff and project leaders from T4EU partner universities to discuss academic cooperation.
This event is particularly interesting for PhD students and their supervisors, who will have the chance to meet, exchange ideas and collaborate on joint projects e.g. Junior Labs, Thesis bundles and PhD Tracks.
