FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE 10 EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES ALLIANCES INCLUDING UNICA MEMBER UNIVERSITIES
The new European Universities initiative is of great strategic importance to our member universities and we are convinced that UNICA can play an important role in:
- facilitating the exchange of experiences;
- providing a forum for the academic leadership to discuss the benefits and challenges of the new initiative;
- voicing the feedback from UNICA member universities on the occasion of the stakeholder consultation meetings on the European Universities Aliances which UNICA is regularly invited to by the European Commission;
- supporting its members in the search for partners for the next calls.
Sessions on the “European universities” were already included in the programme of different UNICA meetings in 2018 and 2019 (EduLAB 2018, UNICA Rectors Seminar Shaping the University of the 21st century, UNICA Rectors Seminar Digitalization and Education. Can universities keep up with Industry 4.0?, UNICA General Assembly 2019). UNICA is committed to provide further similar opportunities to its members in the future.
