|=== Objectives == 
Foster development in the rural, mountain and cross-border territories hosting the partner universities through challengebased
education, research and innovation-related activities. For this purpose, we will:
▪ Create a network of UNITA interfaces with the local innovation ecosystems to facilitate strategic knowledge sharing
with them, in line with the Smart Specialisation Strategies and the European Innovation Agenda.
▪ Promoting cooperative research among the alliance partners and inter-territorial research communities, working on
existing and emerging alliance thematic hubs, originating in complementary competences, alliance strategies, SDGs and
territorial smart specialisation strategies,
▪ Facilitate and improve the partners’ sharing practices of the research infrastructure and related services according to
identified needs,
▪ Develop interconnected master and doctoral programmes targeting alliance focus areas through research-based
academic, practice-oriented and industrial-based training.
To reach these objectives, the Task team composed as described in Section 2.1.3 will be complemented by the Associated
Partners listed for each Task. Ad hoc external advisory boards may be constituted to advise on given strategic Tasks.
