    = Title of the Strategy: UNITA Lifelong Learning 2028–2034 =
    = 🎯 Vision =
    By 2034, UNITA must be recognized as a leading provider of lifelong learning (LLL) in the regions covered by its member universities. This strategy focuses on diverse training possibilities, specifically '''micro-credentials''', tailored to territorial specificities and the needs of socio-economic partners.
    By **2034**, UNITA will be recognized as the premier provider of lifelong learning in its member university regions. We prioritize:
    * 🎓 '''Micro-credentials:''' Flexible, stackable learning units.
    * 🗺️ '''Territorial Specificity:''' Training tailored to local mountain and rural economies.
    * 🤝 '''Partnerships:''' Deep integration with socio-economic stakeholders.

    == Difficulties Encountered ==

    * '''Governance:''' Current tasks are limited to micro-credential implementation; broader LLL dimensions lack coordination.
    * 👤 '''Human Capital:''' No central LLL coordinator; coordination is currently fragmented across TT3.2.
    * '''Departmental Silos:''' LLL departments within individual universities are often disconnected from alliance-level discussions.
    * 💰 '''Finance:''' Need to shift from 100% EU funding to diversified revenue streams.
    * '''Financial Sustainability:''' Current activities rely on EU funds; future LLL initiatives must move toward a self-financing model.
    * 💻 '''Technology:''' Unified digital credential technology and an integrated ecosystem are missing.
    * '''Regulatory Gaps:''' Unharmonized national regulations regarding the definition and recognition of micro-credentials.
    * 🌍 '''Assets:''' Partnership management remains fragmented at the territorial level.
