Building on the achievements of Una Europa’s flagship projects 1Europe and Una.Resin, this project follows a holistic approach and takes the next steps towards the alliance’s ambition of developing into a truly integrated European University of the Future.At the core of this project, the European Campus, we will integrate our education, research and innovation and outreach activities and take them to the next level. Together with our academic community, we will co-develop a long-term strategy for academic collaboration in Una Europa, with the creation of hubs for interdisciplinary challenge-based research and education at the centre. We will focus on six interdisciplinary research areas, Future Materials, OneHealth, Cultural Heritage, Sustainability, Europe and the World and Data Science & Artificial Intelligence. Crucially, we will pay particular attention to supporting our early career researchers and increasing public awareness of science.We will follow the Una Europa guiding pedagogical principles of high-quality international, multilingual, multidisciplinary and research-based education that is developed in meaningful collaboration with non-academic partners. This will ensure that our students will be truly European graduates, equipped with the knowledge, skills and competences needed to play an important role in society and tackle future global challenges. Developing broad mobility pathways for students is the utmost priority of Una Europa with a focus on accessible, inclusive and sustainable physical, blended and virtual mobility. We will further invest in empowering, recognising and rewarding our student and staff community and create more opportunities for bottom-up engagement.A successful European University must be open to the world and constantly reinvent itself, reflecting not only on current problems but also on future fundamental challenges. For this, we will continue to build our Future UniLab as a reflective, creative and inclusive space.

The HPC Digital Autonomy with RISC-V in Europe (DARE) will invigorate the continent’s High Performance Computing ecosystem by bringing together the technology producers and consumers, developing a RISC-V ecosystem that supports the current and future computing needs, while at the same time enabling European Digital Autonomy. DARE takes a customer-first approach (HPC Centres & Industry) to guide the full stack research and development. DARE leverages a co-design software/hardware approach based on critical HPC applications identified by partners from research, academia, and industry to forge the resulting computing solutions. These computing solutions range from general purpose processors to several accelerators, all utilizing the RISC-V ecosystem and emerging chiplet ecosystem to reduce costs and enable scale. The DARE program defines the full lifecycle from requirements to deployment, with the computing solutions validated by hosting entities, providing the path for European technology from prototype to production systems. The six year time horizon is split into two phases, enabling a DARE plan of action and set of roadmaps to provide the essential ingredients to develop and procure EU Supercomputers in the third phase. DARE defines SMART KPIs for the hardware and software developments in each phase, which act as gateways to unlock the next phase of development. The DARE HPC roadmaps (a living document) are used by the DARE Collaboration Council to maximize exploitation and spillover across all European RISC-V projects. DARE addresses the European HPC market failure by including partners with different levels of HPC maturity with the goal of growing a vibrant European HPC supply chain. DARE Consortium partners have been selected based on the ability to contribute to the DARE value chain, from HPC Users, helping to define all the requirements, to all parts of the hardware development, software development, system integration and subsequent commercialization.

In December 1953, an 11-year-old Portuguese girl wrote a letter to Salazar. Maria asked him to use bombs to defeat Russia and communism. The letter said: “You, Doctor Oliveira, who rules this country so well and loves peace, should put an end to these bad people who are hurting everybody.” Hundreds of letters like Maria’s are at the National Archive of Torre do Tombo. This research proposal follows an inventory of these documents, including two other sets of letters addressed to Spanish and Brazilian dictators Franco and Vargas - archived in their respective countries - whose analysis can be found at the intersection of political and childhood histories. In Europe and America, the first decades of the 20th century were marked by the rise of political regimes which, to spread their ideological values and shape the character of the nation, deployed mass media as political propaganda tools. These regimes collaborated in the construction and consolidation of political cultures in which their rulers seemed to merge with the State. This research will focus on Salazarism, Francoism, and Varguism, from the perspective of Transnational History, and it is based on the articulation between a set of state initiatives, centred on a nationalist ideology, and children’s overlooked participation in this state-building process. In Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, there are several works dedicated to the analysis of epistolary writing in the context of authoritarianism. However, little has been devoted to letters written by children, and none about children's letters to government officials. The originality of these sources thus represents an important innovation in the studies of the authoritarian pasts of those countries through the perspective of children, a marginalised subject in historical narratives, and that will enable us to revisit historiographical debates and open a completely new picture on the relation between the Iberian and Brazilian dictatorships, and their societies.
