UNICA provides a forum for its members to reflect on the latest developments and demands of strategic change in university research, education and administration.
To achieve its aims, UNICA carries out member-driven activities, organised around a set of seven interconnected thematic clusters. Together, these clusters provide the framework for the network’s collaborative work. While each cluster focuses on a distinct area of expertise, they are closely linked, reflecting the complex nature of the challenges and opportunities universities face today.
The flagship event of UNICA is the UNICA Days, which take place annually, in Brussels, and is open to the whole community of the network.
Every year, all university members meet for UNICA’s General Assembly, in which important decisions concerning the network are taken.
As part of the academic community, students are also encouraged to get involved in UNICA’s mission through Student Activities. In particular, students are invited to contribute to the UNICA Students Conference, which takes place every two years.
UNICA is also active in the field of European projects, and is responsible for sustaining and updating the IMOTION staffmobility.eu online platform, which centralises information about training activities for university administrative and technical staff organized in Europe, and the Summer and Winter School Programmes portal from the Universities of the Capitals of Europe.
