🌍 The Three Dimensions

The strategy follows a model of progressive cooperation: Inception → Formalisation → Excellence.

🏛️ Internationalization in UNITA: Deepening cooperation in education and rural/mountain development.
🇪🇺 UNITA in Europe: Fostering cooperation within the EUI and with national stakeholders.

Progress Highlights (Phases 1 & 2):

Mobility: Expanded to 40+ BIPs; tested virtual/rural mobility models.
Citizenship: 87+ events held since 2023; PhD funding for European identity.
Geminae: Network of 30+ universities across Americas, Africa, and Asia.

Identified Difficulties:

Funding: Gaps in hosting costs and lack of third-party funding for Geminae.
Bureaucracy: Lack of unified ICT tools for mobility tracking and credit recognition.
Measurement: Challenges in quantifying "political feeling" and citizenship impact.

🤖 Technological: EU AI Act (2024) shapes ethical use of AI in transnational education.
🌱 Environmental: Alignment with 2030 Agenda for sustainable mountain development.
⚖️ Legal: Need to harmonize international degree blueprints and mobility credit recognition.
