On 2-3 December 2020 representatives of the six universities of Ulysseus gathered in Seville in person. At this event, dedicated to the Conference on the Future of Europe, 50 students enjoyed the opportunity to create a position paper for this European event and participate in co-creation sessions to design the first Ulysseus Joint Master Degree in Energy, Transport, Mobility and Smart Cities.
On December 2-3 2021, Ulysseus held its second Open Event since the start of the project.
