Conor Galvin
Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Programme (IDTP) workshop
’What struck me most about the workshop was the range of backgrounds and experience along with the depth of expertise and the enthusiasm for working in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary ways that colleagues brought to the event. The conversations we had while workshopping the broad nature and initial architecture of the Europe and the World Interdisciplinary Doctoral Training Programme (IDTP) were particularly enjoyable.’
Sam Hundersmark
One Health Summer School
'For me, the most prominent reason to go is to meet people from different disciplines and areas of the world. One Health focuses on problems happening across borders that affect us all, like climate change and zoonotic disease. It requires international collaboration and that is what we did when tackling case studies. It was interactive and very engaging.'
What does an Una Europa training programme look like?
Academics from across the Una Europa network develop the programme including classroom sessions and social activities. There is always a link with the key themes of the alliance:
- Cultural Heritage
- Data Science and Artificial Intlligence
- Europe and the World
- Future Materials and Technologies
- One Health

Most schools follow an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) format. This combines a short in-person experience with online sessions before and after.
Participants who complete the full programme receive a certificate of participation with ECTS credits.
