From 20 to 24 April, UPCT in Cartagena, Spain, hosts the EUt+ Cartagena Week — bringing together over 100 participants from all nine member universities for a full week of working sessions, cross-institutional coordination, and strategic planning. The Cartagena Week is one of the key in-person gatherings of the EUt+ alliance, where working groups that normally collaborate online meet face-to-face to accelerate progress on joint European curricula, research cooperation, quality assurance, HR strategy, communication, and student governance.
Over three intensive working days (Tuesday to Thursday), twelve parallel tracks run simultaneously. These include the five curriculum clusters:
alongside the Human Resources office, quality assurance team, accreditation convergence group, the Student Board, Education Committee, and the EUt+ Communication Office (ECOMO).
The week opens on Tuesday with a plenary session followed by a general seminar on citizen science in the context of EUt+.
On Wednesday, a dedicated training session organised by the EUt+ Research Office (TA5.3) explores pathways from Erasmus+ to Horizon Europe funding for EUt+ research groups. Thursday closes with a common wrap-up session where all groups present their progress and next steps.
The Cartagena Week reflects the alliance's working method: regular, structured, in-person convergence sessions that complement the continuous virtual collaboration happening year-round.
Each hosting university brings the alliance physically together on its own campus; making the vision of a shared European “supercampus” tangible for participants.
UPCT, which leads the alliance's communication, dissemination, and global outreach activities (WP9), hosts the event across its city-centre campus facilities.
