UNICA Education

The cluster of Education concerns the efforts to strengthen the quality, innovation, and impact of higher education. It provides a platform for knowledge exchange, joint initiatives, and dialogue on innovative approaches to teaching and learning, and addressing common challenges in education.

The implications of the Bologna Process for European Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and the transformation of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) are particularly relevant in the context of this cluster.

Coordinator: Romita Iucu, University of Bucharest

Actions include policy engagement, institutional cooperation, participation in initiatives that support the development of the EHEA, and organisation and participation in events dedicated to pedagogy and innovative educational frameworks.

The Education Cluster builds on the legacy of the UNICA EduLAB, established in 2014, but whose origins date back to 2002, with the creation of the UNICA Bologna Lab Coordinators Group. The group brought together Bologna Process coordinators to discuss challenges, share experiences, and exchange good practices related to the implementation of the Bologna Process through annual Bologna Labs.

Today, the Education cluster continues this evolution by providing a transversal space for dialogue and collaboration across UNICA, connecting with other clusters to address the complex, interrelated challenges and opportunities shaping the future of education.
