Objectives
- Establish user-friendly, interactive environment and information system accessible to students, researchers and staff, but also to lifelong learners and territorial actors in order to create a system that exchanges data in an easy-to-use manner across partners and alliance actors
- Providing and maintaining the infrastructure, transparency and digital in relationship with all the tasks e.g. voting tools, catalogues and cartographies, seamless mobility, from registration to certification support tools, research hubs cartography and Open data, catalogue of shared infrastructure and knowledge, connected classrooms
- Integrate the new partners contributions (through the IT department of the UNITA)
- Development of a multi-lingual, multi-site and multi-modal integrated lifelong learning environment and academic information system serving learners, staff and stakeholders from registration to certification with online access to materials, connected classrooms, our comprehensive course cartography, projects and mobility services

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) |
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) |
3 | Implement and test the UNITA inter-university digital campus in a continuous monitoring and follow-up approach. | The creation phase of the digital campus will be an iterative process, integrating services one by one, and testing them one by one, in an agile way. 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) |
