UNIC partners Ruhr Universität Bochum and the University of Oulu, Finland, will host an online 'Superdiversity School' on Wednesday November 16 to Friday November 18, 2022. UCC students, staff and researchers are invited to join. Participants can choose to sign up for individual workshops on these days.

UNIC partner Ruhr University Bochum will host an online CityLab session on the topic "From data collector to co-researcher - how to successfully collaborate with society". Open to all UCC researchers, the event will take place at 9am Irish time on Thursday November 10, 2022.

UCC is working with university, city and civil society partners across ten European cities, including Cork, to build a second-round proposal for the ‘European University of Post-Industrial Cities’ (UNIC).

What can, could and should the future of education look like? While we don't yet have all the answers, UNIC has offered us a new way to answer these questions. As our time as UCC’s student representatives on the UNIC Student Board draws to a close, we are afforded some time to pause and reflect on what this has meant for us — both as UCC students and global citizens.
