The Matching Event is a structured collaborative activity organized within the UNITA Alliance to facilitate inter-institutional cooperation among academic and administrative staff. Its primary objective is to identify synergies and foster the joint development of services, projects, and digital tools across partner universities.

Held regularly, the event brings together stakeholders from various work packages and institutional teams to exchange needs, ideas, and capacities. Participants are matched based on thematic areas and institutional priorities, allowing them to align efforts, define shared goals, and plan coordinated actions. The Matching Event plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient resource use, avoiding duplication, and promoting innovation by building strong, purpose-driven working groups within the alliance.
