    | According to interview of Task Co-Leaders (22.05.24):<br />
    – The indicator is OK, but gathering the data depends on strategical decisions of UNITA partners concerning the financial overhead that every UNITA partner delivering MC will accept to give back to the UNITA Alliance.<br />
    – The pre-requisite for this decision is the availability (and validation) of the UNITA MC business model (cf. A3.2.5).<br />
    – These decisions will be taken within UNITA Task 5.2 (cf. A5.2.3), from end 2024 at the earliest.

    | According to interview of Task Co-Leaders (22.05.24):<br />
    – The idea of gathering data about the use of the LLL UNITA Strategy for local strategies is irrelevant for Task 3.2.<br />
    – An alternative would be running an ad hoc survey 6 months before the end of the task among university partners.

    | According to interview of Task Co-Leaders (22.05.24):<br />
    – Simply stating that Task 3.2 contributes to UNITA’s goals is insufficient for impact evaluation.<br />
    – Demonstration could focus on criteria used in delivering the MC internal label (both formal aspects and alignment with UNITA goals), available from end 2024.<br />
    – Another analysis could focus on the correspondence between the MC offer and the six UNITA research themes.

    Objectives[edit | edit source]

    • Define the UNITA strategy for lifelong learning
    • Define and award the UNITA micro-credential label
    • Develop new micro-credentials meeting emerging needs
    • Catalogue of UNITA labelled micro-credentials
    • Use micro-credentials as a contribution to the UNITA financial sustainability

    Inputs & Resources[edit | edit source]

    Source documentation:

    Resources[edit | edit source]

    • Human Resources: List of staff on the task, roles and position: 29 persons.
    • Financial: Budget allocated to the task: 5000 euros (Task activities and grants).
    • Materials: Type of materials required (computers, software, scientific tools …): Not mentioned in the documentation available / One of the envisioned output is a software dedicated to issuing Microcredentials (“European Digital Credential”, EDC).
    • Intangible: Type of intangible materials (communication tools, data bases …): Not mentioned in the documentation available

    Activities & Actions[edit | edit source]

    Source documentation: In each WP folder, document entitled “WPx_full_description)


    List of ActivitiesActivity TitleActionsDeadline
    1Define the UNITA strategy for lifelong learning.Analyse and benchmark the existing micro-credential- based strategies for lifelong learning (UNITA and other alliances). The analysis will consider different audiences and their needs.(M1-M6)
    2Define and award the UNITA micro-credential label.Identify criteria which define the label according to the personalized, multilingual, international approach and the territorial needs. Identify existing modules to be transformed into micro-credentials and micro-credentials that could be awarded a UNITA micro-credential label. The UNITA label will be included, depending on the public, in the UNITA diploma supplement, Europass or the European student Card.(M7-M48)
    3Develop new micro-credentials meeting emerging needs.In collaboration with 4.1 and our associated partners the needs of UNITA's territories will be analysed in terms of up-skilling and re-skilling. We will also look into the needs of our students in terms of flexibilisation of study paths (Task 3.1) and employability. At least two calls will be launched with the aim to select the projects for the creation of new UNITA micro-credentials tailored to the emerged needs.(M12-M48)
    4Set up the catalogue of UNITA labelled micro-credentials.The catalogue contains all the UNITA labelled micro-credentials and is meant as a tool to support the personalisation of the study paths and reskilling and upskilling of lifelong learners. It will be hosted by the UNITA inter-university digital campus (Task 3.4)(M12-M48)
    5Use micro-credentials as a contribution to the UNITA financial sustainability.In cooperation with Task 5.2 and the Legal Entity create and implement the business model of the UNITA micro-credentials.(M14-M48)

    Indicators[edit | edit source]

    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.
