List of activities	Actions to implement	Deadline
A3.4.1 Set up the UNITA inter-university digital campus	Open-source solutions that have already proven their viability in the first phase of implementation of projects dedicated to the development of European University Alliances will be taken over and customized. Analyse and draw lessons for the development of the UNITA Inter-university Digital Campus of the pilot phase. Studying the solutions of other multi-lingual, multi-site and multi-modal lifelong learning environments and the ones implemented by other university alliances, through the exchange of experience and the examples of good practice presented in FOREU2, especially in the digital services and data sharing subgroup. In this way, open-source solutions that have already proven their viability in the first phase of implementation of projects dedicated to the development of European University Alliances will be taken over and customized. Analyse and draw lessons for the development of the UNITA Inter-university Digital Campus of the pilot phase.	(M1–M6)
A3.4.2 Set the specifications of the inter-university digital campus	The actions will correlate naturally and consist of identification, analyse and validation of the requirements for the multi-modal digital campus as a whole and as regards romance languages intercomprehension and teaching, the UNITA comprehensive course cartography, learning and mobility support services, R&I and outreach projects. The partners will agree on the interfaces and standards and the degree of in- and out-sourcing to partner IT units, the UNITA Legal Entity and third parties.	(M7–M15)
A3.4.3 Implement and test the UNITA inter-university digital campus in a continuous monitoring and follow-up approach	Make the beta version of the digital campus available; test the beta version in specific case-scenarios across partners and missions in education, R&I and outreach; collect and assess feedback from students, academic staff, support staff, lifelong learners, territorial actors; accommodate the functionalities to the feedbacks; intensify and widen digital campus use and functionalities by systematically adding new services when ready. Collect and assess feedback from students, academic staff, support staff, lifelong learners, territorial actors. Accommodate the functionalities to the feedbacks.	(M6–M48)

What are the benefits of the actions for the alliance partners? How does the task transform the partners?	* A tool that will allow you to complement the work of all other tasks since they will all have at some point a connection with what the digital campus will be.	The work carried out in all tasks
To what extent did the task contribute to achieve WP’s and/or UNITA’s goals?	* With the digital campus tool developed, the objective of disseminating information, and the connection between the various institutions that make up UNITA will be stronger. * It will allow achieving the objectives of other WPs since they will be able to use the digital campus for their subtasks, leading this to help achieve UNITA's objectives.	With the other task teams and with the usability of the digital campus always working to improve what has already been developed.
