Looking back at the UNINOVIS International Conference
On 26–27 January 2026, the UNINOVIS International Conference Innovating Together brought together researchers, educators, students, and partners from across Europe in Málaga. Hosted by the Universidad de Málaga, the conference focused on applied data science, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real societal impact.
Looking Back at the DiPYUA Workshop in Málaga
In January 2026, the DiPYUA (Digital Platforms of Young University Alliances) Workshop brought together European University Alliances, platform developers and practitioners in Málaga to share hands-on experiences with building digital platforms that actually work.
Data for L.I.F.E.
Data has been called the new uranium, which can be used for better or worse. Like uranium, data is valuable and must be treated with care and diligence. This is a new opportunity for European excellence, so that current and future stakeholders can understand, use and protect data, through policy, development and business strategies.
The overall objective of UNINOVIS - Data for L.I.F.E. is to build up an alliance of eight higher education institutions, distributed all over Europe. The alliance wants to combine its expertise to strongly improve capacities and skills to understand, analyse, manage, use and safeguard data in the EU.
