| The Task organises and oversees the transition towards more agile and functional governance of the alliance. It aims
| |
| at joint action, good governance, mission and process integration to build an innovative, attractive and competitive
| |
| European University with a distinct profile contributing to the development of excellence and innovation in the European
| |
| education, higher education and research areas (EEA, EHEA and ERA).
| |
| The Task Team also functions as a think tank for the medium- and long-term vision of the Alliance, in clear connection
| |
| with the Legal Entity, with the aim of proposing a reference model for European Universities. The Task develops the
| |
| governance structures created during the pilot phase of the Alliance and described in its management guide.
| |
| Task 1.1 is linked with Tasks 1.2 (Manage) and 1.3. (Quality).
| |
| Activity roadmap
| |
| A1.1.1 Introduce the new partners to the achievements and lessons learned from phase one (M1-M2): the new partners
| |
| have been associated with the project's activities since June 2021, resulting in an easier and shorter acquaintance process.
| |
| A1.1.2 Update and maintain the governance structures (Governance Board, Student Assembly, Quality and Evaluation
| |
| Board) (M1-M48) fully integrating new partners and involving students and staff, and associated partners. Confirm
| |
| processes of nomination, election and rotation for all governance bodies and operational units. Communicate nomination,

| |
| election and rotation schemes with academic and administrative staff as well as internal and external stakeholders
| |
| involved.
| |
| Analyse current governance practices at partner and alliance level as regards the execution of the alliance missions in
| |
| education, research, innovation and service to society, possibly benchmarking with other alliances. In cooperation with
| |
| the Student Assembly, collect and analyse data for the comparison of the regulations and electoral systems of all the
| |
| partners of the UNITA Alliance with the aim to implement tools (in cooperation with T3.4) that encourage and facilitate
| |
| the democratic participation of all students in the decision-making processes within the Alliance itself with potential
| |
| transformative impact on each partner. Specify innovative areas for enhancement through the first discussions of strategy
| |
| plans.
| |
| Implement, test and adjust governance processes to balance continuousness and innovative impulses. Share test results
| |
| as well as intended adjustments with students, staff and stakeholders before implementation. Regularly assess legal
| |
| and operative synergetic potential of governance processes and accommodate them under the principle of operational
| |
| jointness.
| |
| A1.1.3 Establish the agenda of the new bodies of the enlarged alliance (M1-M12) including meeting programs, in
| |
| connection with Task 1.2, improving the current governance of the alliance based on the experience of the pilot phase
| |
| and adapting it to the enlargement of the alliance.
| |
| Two UNITA weeks are organized each year, each by a different partner; during the days, physical (if possible) meetings
| |
| of (and between) the following boards/teams are organised: Governance Board UNITA and Conseil Stratégique of the
| |
| Legal Entity, Quality & Evaluation Board, Student Assembly, Task Team 1.1 & Comité de Proposition et Pilotage of the
| |
| Legal Entity, Task Team 1.2, Work Packages Teams (considering each Constellation project as a different WP).
| |
| Integrate the Legal Entity in the alliance set up and activities.
| |
| A1.1.4 Coordinate the development of the UNITA model for a European University (M12-M48): interact with the
| |
| governance bodies (Governance Board, Student Assembly, Quality and Evaluation Board), the Management Committee
| |
| (i.e. Task Team 1.2), the UNITA Executive Coordinator, the UNITA Office Coordinator, as well as with academic and
| |
| support staff representatives to co-design the medium-term vision of UNITA.
| |
| Build the UNITA model of institutionalized European University drawing the evolution of the Legal Entity, and codesign
| |
| the long-term vision with the Task teams competent for the different strategy plans and actions (e.g. TT1.2, TT1.3,
| |
| TT2.2, TT2.4, TT3.1, TT3.2, TT3.4, TT4.1, TT4.2, TT4.4, TT5.2, TT5.3, TT5.4, TT5.5) and other experts in the alliance
| |
| supporting the transformation of the Legal Entity towards the shared European University ambitions.
| |
| Present the UNITA model of institutionalized European University and discuss in a forum or workshop with the European
| |
| Commission, the National Authorities, and other Alliances the role, the governance, and the mission of European
| |
| Universities.
