Internationalize your teaching by leveraging the Unite! opportunities for faculty & staff

Last week, Aalto University had the honour of hosting the XII Unite! Dialogue, an event where members of the Unite! Alliance came together to strengthen cooperation across various areas, such as teaching and research. The campus buzzed with the presence of international groups, and the sounds of European languages filled Otaniemi, sparking curiosity about these exciting initiatives. If you were intrigued and would like to learn more about how to get involved, read on.
Aalto University is one of the 9 members of the Unite! University Alliance, a network that aims at fostering interinstitutional cooperation in teaching and research.
