Strategic Roadmap for 2028–2034: establish UNITA as a leading LLL provider in its member regions by 2034, focusing on micro-credentials and territorial needs.

🎯 Vision

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.

📊 1. State of the Art

Progress to Date

Key Milestones:

50 UNITA-labelled micro-credentials launched.
Establishment of the Hub of Success.
Active role in the FOREU4ALL community.

Current Challenges:

Governance coordination gaps.
Departmental silos across member universities.
High dependency on EU funding.

Resource Gap Analysis

👤 Human Capital: No central LLL coordinator; coordination is currently fragmented across TT3.2.
💰 Finance: Need to shift from 100% EU funding to diversified revenue streams.
💻 Technology: Unified digital credential technology and an integrated ecosystem are missing.
🌍 Assets: Partnership management remains fragmented at the territorial level.
