__TOC__

= 1. Strategy Description =
UNITA will establish an integrated quality, impact, and data-driven enhancement framework that transcends institutional boundaries. By 2034, the alliance will create a unified European excellence culture through **UNITApedia**—a pioneering observatory integrating quality assurance (QA) across education, research, innovation, and internationalization. This framework maintains alignment with the **European Standards and Guidelines (ESG)** and fosters measurable community transformation.

== Summary of Actions to Date ==

=== Quality Assurance Foundation (2020-2027) ===
* '''Governance:''' Established the **Quality and Evaluation Board (QEB)** for policy and **Task Team 1.3 (TT1.3)** for operations.
* '''QA Tools:''' Implementation of the **Quality Review Checklist (QRC)** and **Deliverable Checklist (DC)** under the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) methodology.
* '''Policy Integration:''' Integration of national QA agencies (e.g., ARACIS) into the alliance governance.

=== Impact Measurement Development (2020-2027) ===
* '''Theory of Change:''' Baseline metrics established via Impact Pathways methodology.
* '''UNITApedia Observatory:''' Launched a six-viewpoint framework (Structural, Strategic, Beneficiary, Semantic, Infrastructure, and Data dimensions).
* '''Benchmarking:''' Active participation in THE and QS Impact Rankings.

== Resource Analysis (Current State) ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"
! Category !! Status !! Assets / Gaps
|-
| '''Human Resources''' | QEB, TT1.3, and Task 5.4 teams. | '''Gap:''' Inconsistent student participation and uneven institutional engagement.
|-
| '''Financial''' | €1.2M (Observatory) + €500k (AI/ML). | '''Gap:''' Specific QA activity budgets are often not clearly defined.
|-
| '''Infrastructure''' | UNITApedia Open-Source Platform. | '''Asset:''' Standardized RACI framework; integrated Virtual Campus.
|-
| '''External Assets''' | FOR-EU4All Community. | '''Asset:''' Direct partnerships with national QA agencies and ministries.
|}

== Difficulties Encountered ==
* '''Personnel:''' Challenges in recruiting specialized IT professionals due to high market competition.
* '''Data Silos:''' Fragmented data systems across 12 universities hindered holistic real-time impact visualization.
* '''Engagement:''' Uneven participation among task team members and limited associated partner involvement.

== PESTEL Analysis ==



{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"
! Factor !! Key Aspects !! Impact
|-
| '''Political''' | EU Strategy for Universities (2022). | Aligning alliance-level QA with national systems is mandatory for joint degrees.
|-
| '''Economic''' | Horizon Europe ROI requirements. | UNITApedia manages social impact data to increase project success rates.
|-
| '''Social''' | Lifelong learning and inclusivity demand. | Observatory personalizes opportunities for 250k students and 21k staff.
|-
| '''Technological''' | AI/ML and Predictive Analytics. |  Semantic viewpoints automate cross-strategy synergy detection.
|-
| '''Environmental''' | EU Green Deal / Carbon Neutrality. | Tracking sustainability metrics across 10 campuses via the infrastructure viewpoint.
|-
| '''Legal''' | GDPR and Federated Learning. | Using federated tools to mitigate cross-border data harmonization risks.
|}

== Internal Resource Analysis (Forward-Looking) ==
* '''Gaps:''' Absence of a centralized alliance-wide framework for systemic QA adoption; limited AI/ML capacity at some partner sites; weak feedback loops between QA findings and strategic governance.
* '''Opportunities:''' Utilizing the **UNITA GEIE** structure to institutionalize processes beyond project cycles; expanding student and employer roles in QA.
