The words ‘unidad, unidade, unità, unitate, unité’ inspire our name: UNITA.

It evokes the strong links and commonalities that bring us together to create ground-breaking and innovative alliance aiming at a deeper level of integration.

Universitas Montium, written in Latin, stresses a common heritage and the fact that UNITA universities all speak Romance languages, and are committed to fostering linguistic diversity and to the development of rural and cross-border mountain territories.

Our slogan ‘Climb your future’ reflects our commitment to supporting the aspirations of our graduates and our communities by fostering their resilience to cope with life’s challenges.[1]

About this image

Structural Viewpoint

Aimed at supporting each of the task teams, as well as the advisory and decision-making bodies, in implementing an impact-oriented project management approach. This viewpoint allows interaction with the observatory through the structure of each task, piloting its indicators and following up on the corresponding results, outcomes, and impacts.

Strategic Viewpoint

Intended to observe the impact on strategic axes and long-term missions of the alliance. This viewpoint aggregates individual task indicators and allows the community to observe the global impact of the alliance.

Beneficiary Viewpoint

Organizes all opportunities and tools offered by UNITA according to beneficiary type. It enables continuous communication and monitoring, helping the alliance remain aligned with the interests of each beneficiary group.

Knowledge Discovery Viewpoint

Automatically generated using machine learning techniques applied to UNITA's outputs. It presents a timeline of key assets and allows the community to discover and understand the alliance’s evolution.

Infrastructure Architecture Viewpoint

Focused on the observatory's technical foundations and structure. It documents the virtual campus deployment and operations, supporting cross-alliance technical exchange and learning.

Data Architecture Viewpoint

Explains the data model used to manage the observatory. It helps experts and non-experts understand how data is integrated, accessed, and queried. Relevant insights can later inform the other viewpoints.

About UNITA

UNITA - Universitas Montium brings together the universities of Turin, Chambéry, Covilhã, Pau, Timisoara, and Zaragoza, six comprehensive research universities with different sizes and trajectories gathering more than +250000 students and +21000 staff members. As universities with a sound background of experience in international networks and joint research, educational and innovation projects, we aspire to shape a new model for an integrated European university. Together with actors from the socio-economic sector, public authorities, policy-makers and civil organizations as associated partners, we will foster a unique ecosystem with a powerful transformational potential on our universities and territories.

Commonalities

The UNITA - Universitas Montium Alliance relies on three common key features:

  • Rural and cross-border mountain regions location (Serra da Estrela for Beira Interior, the Pyrenees for Pau and Zaragoza, the Alps for Savoie Mont Blanc and Turin, and the Banat Mountains for Timisoara).
  • Use of Romance languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian) allowing to promote multilingualism through an inter-comprehension approach.
  • Three areas: Cultural Heritage, Renewable Energies, and Circular Economy.

Vision

The UNITA - Universitas Montium Alliance intends to build an inspiring European inter-university campus based both on excellence in learning and teaching and on research and innovation for and with the territories. Its goal is to drive excellence in the European Higher Education area and become attractive for non-EU students also, in particular those from Romance-speaking countries. During the three-year pilot, with the aim of implementing new models of research-based teaching and strategies to have an impact on our territories in terms of innovation and knowledge transfer, UNITA pursues the following objectives:

  1. Creating a participative, open, inclusive and effective European University.
  2. Developing excellent research-driven and student-centred education.
  3. Promoting multilingualism and the diversity of languages in Europe.
  4. Reducing inequalities between core and non-central regions through the sustainable development of rural and mountain areas.
  5. Creating an inspiring learning environment.
  6. Reaching Mobility for all.
  7. Contributing to strengthening European identity, citizenship and values.
  8. Ensuring the continuity and uptake of UNITA approach.

To pursue these goals, UNITA – Universitas Montium chooses to focus its actions on shared values such as European diversity, Social responsibility, Democratic participation, Inclusiveness, Personal development and Sustainability.

Key Actions

  • Flexible, student-centred and quality learning with a strong commitment to the needs of rural and mountain territories.
  • Inter-comprehension between Romance languages to promote multilingualism and as a tool for inclusion and employability, in order to enable diverse students to have a powerful learning experience and to offer opportunities to the diverse staff community to enhance their professional skills.
  • Focus on sustainability through research and innovation in Cultural Heritage, Renewable Energies, and Circular Economy, including the Bioeconomy, to strengthen our local communities.
  • Boost inclusive mobility: multiply staff and student mobility by 10, integrating “Rural Erasmus mobility”, new forms of mobility (short-term, virtual, blended), using the digital learning space of the Inter-University campus.
