Interreg Europe selected our “Integrated System for the Complex Environmental Research and Monitoring in the Danube River Area – REXDAN project SMART” as a shining example of best practices in August 2022!

At the heart of this recognition lies the groundbreaking REXDAN Research Vessel, poised to become a cornerstone of environmental research in the Danube River area. This vessel is the largest on the European Union inland waters, and equipped with nine state-of-the-art laboratories covering a wide array of disciplines, from sample collection to atmospheric chemistry, the REXDAN vessel is revolutionising environmental research.

The REXDAN project goes beyond just a vessel. It comprises a comprehensive research infrastructure, including a fixed system of laboratories complementing those onboard the ship. With the acquisition of cutting-edge equipment underway, our research capabilities are set to soar.

The scope of our research is equally impressive, spanning a vast geographical area along the Danube River and covering essential aspects such as water quality, sediments, biodiversity and more. This holistic approach aligns perfectly with the Joint Strategy for the Implementation of the Water Framework Directive, emphasising the interconnectedness of research methods and the importance of large-scale studies in crucial EU basins.

Join us in celebrating this milestone achievement! Together, we’re charting a course towards a better understanding of our environment and a sustainable future for generations to come. Learn more about the REXDAN project and its recognition as a good practice by visiting Interreg Europe’s website.

The Doctoral School of Valencian International University (VIU), created in 2022, is currently offering its first doctoral programme on Inmunonutrition, Nutritional Genomics and Alimentation, in collaboration with the IMDEA Research Institute Food & Health Sciences in Madrid. The programme, which you can access here, promotes research on holistic wellbeing through food and is welcoming students from all over the world.

Before the end of this year, two other programmes will be implemented on Public Health, Communitarian Care, and Addictions, as well as on Data Science and Big Data. The latter will contribute to develop competences in STEAM and aims at leveraging cutting-edge technologies to drive business growth and enhance efficiency.

We are excited about these projects and progressing towards research for a healthy and digital future with Qⁿ Alliance member universities!

Scheduled for February 15, 2024, from 9:00am to 11:00am (CET),  this webinar series marks the beginning of an exciting journey into the world of IoT, organised by AGU CITA (Center for IoT Technologies and Applications). With Prof. Pietro Manzoni as the inaugural speaker, participants can anticipate a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving landscape of IoT technologies and their applications in diverse environments.

Giorgio Calcagnini, Rector, and Elena Viganò, Vice-Rector for Sustainability from the University of Urbino Carlo Bo, have invited the Qⁿ Alliance rectors to a remarkable initiative for the Day of energy saving and sustainable lifestyles

Save the Date: February 16, 2024

The University of Urbino Carlo Bo is partaking in the “M’illumino di Meno” initiative, in collaboration with Rai Radio 2 and the “Caterpillar” broadcast. In its twentieth edition, this campaign goes beyond the conventional call to turn off non-essential lights. This year, we introduce the “No Borders” initiative, highlighting the importance of international collaboration and unity among universities.

How to Join:
Snap a photo of a university building with lights off, email it to sostenibile@uniurb.it with campus details. Contribute to global energy conservation, showcase sustainability commitment, and be part of a borderless cause.

Qⁿ unites in this shared narrative for a sustainable future! Join us as we illuminate less on February 16!

The event will be held on-site and back to back with the 11th International Scientific Conference “Faces of Prosperity,” the conference will delve into several key areas crucial for societal advancement and well-being. Firstly, discussions will revolve around social assistance, examining both the opportunities it presents and the threats it may pose to the overall welfare of communities. Secondly, attention will be given to economic development and eco-development, exploring sustainable approaches to economic growth and environmental conservation. The conference will shed light on the principle of human and social capital in economic development, deepening on the importance of investing in people and social structures for long-term prosperity. Lastly, discussions will focus on combating civilisation diseases and addressing the consequences of pharmacological treatments for these diseases, aiming to promote healthier lifestyles and more effective healthcare strategies.

In a major leap forward, the Qⁿ Alliance has agreed for significant strides in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information Technology (IT) governance. Valencian International University (VIU) will host the visit of Abdullah Gül University (AGÜ) to share successful IT governance and security strategies, setting the stage for collective advancement among member universities.

The alliance is fostering collaboration through comparative analysis of IT infrastructures, with the focus on exploring effective integration of AI applications for HE innovation. The launch of the Qⁿ e-NEXUS platform will be a game-changer, opening avenues for transformative data management and collaborative research.

Led by José Ramón Sepúlveda, Vice-rector of Technology and Digital Transformation at VIU, this initiative aims to elevate the alliance cooperation in IT governance and Information Security. Elmas DOĞAN, Internal Auditor at AGÜ and Qⁿ Alliance Task 2.1 member, will visit VIU to share best practices through the mobility of ICT responsible and IT specialists. Qⁿ Alliance is propelling a future of innovation and collaboration in Information Technology, solidifying its position as a hub for knowledge exchange among member universities.
