Global Outreach & Transnational Cooperation Roadmap for 2027–2034 : sharing and developing UNITA values through a nexus of internationalization dimensions and transversal actions.

🌍 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.
🌐 UNITA in the World: Enhancing the Geminae Network to promote European values globally.

📊 1. State of the Art

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.

🔍 2. Strategic Context
