Task number	4
Name	UNITA Graduate School in alliance focus areas
Strategic Axes	Education and Pedagogical Innovation, Communities building
Workpackage	Knowledge-based growth in rural, mountain and cross-border territories

Objectives[edit | edit source]

Set up a UNITA Graduate School (GS) that proposes interconnected learning programmes from the master level to the doctorate level
Definition of standards for the award of the UNITA label for Master/PhD programmes
Develop interconnected master and doctoral programmes targeting alliance thematic areas through research-based academic, practice-oriented and industrial-based training

Resources[edit | edit source]

Human Resources: List of staff on the task, roles and position: 33 persons (all universities are represented) involved in the task

Profiles: Heads of Masters, Heads of doctoral schools, Leaders of existing Graduate Schools.

Financial: Budget allocated to the task: 30000€ for travels, subsistence, accommodation. 10000€ for other costs (2 500 per University that will organize once the Doctoriales/3min PhD).
Materials: Type of materials required (computers, software, scientific tools): Not at that step, but future needs for a web platform and lectures storage.
Intangible: Type of intangible materials (communication tools, data bases,…): Not at that step, but future needs for a web platform and lectures storage.

Activities & Actions[edit | edit source]

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

List of Activities	Activity Title	Actions	Deadline
1	Collect and chart current master and doctoral training activities.	Collect and chart current master and doctoral training activities (in the partner institutions and in a sample of other organisations), subject-specific (in the alliance focus areas) or horizontal, in particular those that tackle challenges of immediate relevance to communities and regional development. Cross-examine possibilities for inter- regional synergies.	(M1-M9)
2	Define standards for the eligibility of learning programmes for the UGS.	Define standards for the elected UGS programmes to award them the UNITA label. The elected programmes elaborate on existing courses in alliance focus areas and include subject-specific trainings validated by the alliance research hubs. They are designed following the EU principles for innovative doctoral training (for both the master and doctoral levels) and include mandatory mobility. Agree on actions to develop and inter-connect partners master and doctoral education programmes, such as joint "doctoriales", summer schools, "My three-minute thesis" competition, etc. Define the selection process of the UGS candidates considering the HRS4R principles. Promote the enrolment in the UGS master programmes among the alliance and the GEMINAE network. Refine existing PhD co-tutelles schemes. Apply to Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Cofunds, Doctoral Network) and Erasmus Mundus joint master programmes.	(M5-M15)
3	Progressively implement the UGS in the UNITA focus areas.	Identify strengths and weaknesses of the implementation. Assess attractiveness and impact of programmes, procedures, and inter-connectivity of the UGS. Rely on the GEMINAE network and beyond to intensify dissemination of the UGS programmes. Study potential enlargement of the UGS of other research areas.	(M12-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.

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

These indicators have been chosen and agree during the Phase 2 proposal made to the European Commission.

Indicator	Indicator Description	Unit of Measurement	Data Source	Frequency	Baseline	Target	Type
a	Number of shared Course in UNITA Graduate Schools	Numerical	Reports / Training path and web platform	Annual	0	200	Output

These indicators have been chosen and agree during the Phase 2 proposal made to the European Commission.

Sub-Indicator Description	Unit of Measurement	Data Source	Frequency	Type	Parent Indicator
Number of participants in shared course	Numerical	Reports / Training path and web platform	Annual	Outcome	Number of shared Course in UNITA Graduate Schools

Data collection[edit | edit source]

Indicator Description	Data Source	Collection Type	Data Owner
Number of participants in shared course	Reports / Training path and web platform	Automatic	UNITA Graduate Schools
Number of shared Course in UNITA Graduate Schools	Reports / Training path and web platform	Manual	UNITA Graduate Schools

Secondary indicators[edit | edit source]

To be defined by T5.4 members previously to interviews and to be proposed to task co leader

Number of students applying to the UGS
Number of students participating to the shared courses.
Number of students participating in exchange programs or joint courses (Student mobility)
Number of submitted joint programmes: PhD co-tutelles, COFUND, Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions, Erasmus Mundus joint master programmes
- For some (ex. Erasmus Mundus, COFUND) discussion need to be done at an executive level.
Job placement rates: assess the employment outcomes of students who have participated in joint programs or collaborations.
- Difficult to evaluate due to time constraint
- Choral COFUND program may help (but may not be fully consistent)
Percentage of Master students coming to PhD program (at university level)
- Estimation at the graduate school
- Important to measure the derivative indicators

Task and WP long-term objectives Task Description – T4.4 description - WP4 Objectives
UNITA Mission Statement (from Grant Agreement)

	Users / Beneficiaries Intern to UNITA	End-Users / Beneficiaries extern to UNITA
1) Who are the stakeholders benefiting of the task’s actions?	Faculty, students, administrative staff, and researchers across all UNITA partner institutions. Enhanced opportunities for interdisciplinary research and international collaboration.	To check with the T5.1 list
2) To what extent has the local/international society changed as a result of outcomes compared to before UNITA? What are the long term results for them?	Having more PhDs (with a strong culture of interdisciplinarity) on topics such as Cultural Heritage, Green Energy, etc., will shed light on key societal issues. UGS is expected to influence the research strategies of UNITA members in the long term, aligning them with societal expectations.	Increased availability of highly skilled graduates in fields critical to societal needs such as cultural heritage and green energy. Strengthened ties between academia and industry, leading to better job placement and economic development. Greater public engagement and awareness through research dissemination and community projects.

-The development of a comprehensive support system, including pre-departure orientations, visa assistance, accommodation help, and academic advising, will be crucial to facilitate the mobility process and ensure students can focus on their academic and cultural experiences.
-Continuous monitoring and evaluation mechanisms should be established to assess the effectiveness of the UGS programs and make necessary adjustments.
-Collaboration with industry partners to ensure that the curriculum remains relevant and that students are equipped with the skills needed in the job market.
