This October, the University of Patras will host three EUNICoast governance meetings from 6 to 9 October 2026: the Community Engagement Commission, the Impact and Dissemination Commission, and the Steering Committee.
The timing is deliberate. The meetings have been scheduled to run alongside Welcome UP 2026, the University's flagship annual festival, as a way to put the Community Engagement and Impact and Dissemination Commissions' missions into practice.
The two events will be formally linked through joint sessions. EUNICoast delegates will take part in interactive activities within the Festival, and the visit will include promotional actions such as live interviews on the University of Patras radio station, giving the Alliance visibility to the local community and wider public.
Representatives from across the Alliance's thirteen partner universities will attend.
A recap of the meetings and their outcomes will follow after the event.
