Task number	5.4
Name	UNITA impact observatory
Strategic Axes	Quality, Impact and Sustainability
Workpackage	Impact and dissemination

Objectives

Supporting UNITA's strategies in its effect of transforming our universities will be generating impact for local andregional ecosystems as well as in the European Higher Education and Research Area.
Contributing to the design of a shared model with the other alliances (ForEu2 Impact Group and other relevant groups),to deploy an impact-oriented approach in UNITA and to promote its measurement and evaluation and its use for pilotingstrategic, management and operational actions.
Measuring the impact achieved through the alliance, on our international outreach and recognition, at the Europeanlevel and beyond, as well as on the contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).Task 5.4 will work on the data from the other Tasks of WP5 (Impact and Dissemination) as well as of WP2 (Developing UNITA communities), WP3 (Lifelong Education), WP4 (Societal and territories needs driven research & innovation) andwill provide inputs to WP1 (Governance and Coordination).

List of Activities	Activity Title	Actions	Deadline
1	Identify the methods for impact measurement.	Chart and examine with experts what methods are best suited to measure the impact of Task outputs on internal and external target groups (e.g for impact on students: the European Graduate Tracking Initiative) and stakeholders and notably the specific indicators we defined under each Task.	(M1-M6)
2	Design methodology, data collection and interfaces dashboard principles.	Discuss methods of impact measurement (e.g., surveys) with Task teams and end users such as students, academic and administrative staff and other stakeholders. Agree on a process owners and calendar to conduct measurements data collection. Design an impact monitoring dashboard supporting and leading UNITA strategies decision bodies.	(M6-M12)
3	Implement and test first series of impact measurements.	Involving one-third of long-term vision strategies. Expand the test to two-thirds of long-term vision strategies and use the results to participate to an external impact monitoring system.	(M12-M24)
4	Collect and assess feedback from target groups and stakeholders.	On the impact measurement methodology and their results. Accommodate the impact measurement methodology to the feedback received	(M18-M30)
5	Intensify and widen the impact measurement methodology to all strategies.	And use the results toparticipate to an external impact monitoring system and share with other alliances and networks in Europe and beyond,including the European Higher Education Observatory.	(M24-M48)

Indicators

These indicators have been gathered from the different source (list below) and have been gathered from interviews driven by Task 5.4 UNITA impact observatory.
