Matteo's Transform4Europe Journey

A Story of Growth and Opportunity

About

Matteo Commellato, a Master’s student in Environmental and Nature Sciences and Technologies at the University of Trieste (UniTS), shares how the Alliance has profoundly shaped his academic and personal growth.

Through Transform4Europe, Matteo seized incredible opportunities. He joined the T4EU Week in Poland at the University of Silesia (USil) and later explored interdisciplinary courses in Germany at Saarland University.

These experiences expanded his perspective far beyond his field of study. Working in multicultural, interdisciplinary teams, he developed invaluable transferable skills while strengthening his identity as a European citizen through meaningful connections with peers from across the continent.

Matteo’s journey reflects the unique international opportunities available to all UniTS students through the Transform4Europe Alliance. Unlike traditional Erasmus programs, these experiences foster a deeper sense of collaboration, diversity, and shared European values.
