U
In collaboration with Task 5.4 on the impact of the actions undertaken. Accommodate the impact measurement methodology to the feedback received. +
Our impact on the territory will be reinforced through the participation of our students in UNITA Rural Mobility (URM). This initiative allows the students to spend several weeks in rural areas performing internships which will help them to improve professional competences and soft skills while enriching the rural community with international university experiences. This type of mobility benefits a limited number of students because it requires extra funds but has a deep impact both on students and territories. +
Support the organisation of meetings of the Student Assembly and students' organisations to encourage the proposal of projects for the improvement of students' life. A part of the Budget of the Student Assembly will be dedicated to a joint project to support the student's associations inside the Alliance. Develop the association's ideas, share knowledge, share best practices in student organisations, implement online courses related to life skills for students (e.g., finance for everyday life), develop common actions. +
In cooperation with Task 2.4 (mobility) and interacting with students and staff, the most sustainable and healthy ways of transport between UNITA Campuses and around them will be identified and promoted. Green mobility will be adopted as the preferred type, and incentives to promote it will be introduced in all UNITA calls. +
The new partners have been associated with the project's activities since June 2021, resulting in an easier and shorter acquaintance process. +
Each activity, output and profit-generating initiative will be monitored from a financial perspective, providing feedback for the improvement of the Sustainability Plan and for the refinement of the common financial methodology. +
Exchange of good practices regarding the management and sharing of infrastructures. Draw lessons for the further development and sharing of infrastructures and related serviced. +
Chart examples of effective community building within and across the alliance, and specifically, the matching events on research and on education that took place organized during the pilot phase. Define effective community building within and across education, research, innovation, and university life. +
Involving one-third of long-term vision strategies. Expand the test to two-thirds of long-term vision strategies and use the results to participate to an external impact monitoring system. +
Piloted and fine-tuned during actions and events gathering researchers, students, citizens, industry and NGOs representatives. A forum will be organized to share good practices to promote FAIR data development and to incite researchers to open science in line with the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (COARA). New actions aiming at disseminating research results will be developed by mobilizing original tools (videos, comics, STEAM approach, etc.). +
Each participant in a matching event will receive a starting grant for the travel expenses and for directs costs of an initial collaboration with other attendees on the topics of the event. At the end of the period (M32), each formed team will present a report on their progress, achieved, and expected impact, and suggested further steps. +
Discuss methods of impact measurement (e.g., surveys) with Task teams and end users such as students, academic and administrative staff and other stakeholders. Agree on a process owners and calendar to conduct measurements data collection. Design an impact monitoring dashboard supporting and leading UNITA strategies decision bodies. +
Create a specific working and studying conditions working group in charge of implementing a PDCA (plan-do-check-act) cycle by surveying and proposing actions to improve the study, research and work environments, the occupational health well-being and safety for students and staff. Build a common model of Well-being in UNITA universities and implement some actions of it in each university. Communication plan to develop and promote the interventions at each University. Each year a meeting will be organised, four overall. Conduct a survey on the well-being of staff at the beginning and at the end of the project and measure the degree of satisfaction and criticalities of students and staff. +
Organise a leadership course for the university managing staff (Vice-Rectors and Deputies, Heads of Departments and Faculties, Service Directors, Offices Heads) to drive universities towards a better change management capability. The program focuses on giving to the University leaders guidelines and competencies to improve decision-making, change management and communication. A working group will be set up to define the common UNITA leadership model and how to adapt it in each University, considering the specific existing organisation and national rules. One meeting per year will be organised to monitor the progress. +
In order to lead the progress of the UNITA action program, the activities of UNITA are coordinated and implemented by the operational bodies: Management Committee, WP Teams and Task Teams, UNITA Offices, and the UNITA Executive and Offices Coordinators. They interact in a cooperative and participative way by co-creating knowledge and related decisions according to a platform approach that shares resources and mutual benefits. +
Collect and chart current master and doctoral training activities (in the partner institutions and in a sample of other organisations), subject-specific (in the alliance focus areas) or horizontal, in particular those that tackle challenges of immediate relevance to communities and regional development. Cross-examine possibilities for inter- regional synergies. +
With the purpose of preparing the graduates to address sustainability challenges in their future profession, short courses or modules on sustainability topics will be designed and offered for BA and MA students in collaboration with the academic responsible of the degrees. A redesign of existing courses to include the sustainability perspective in them will be also encouraged. Prizes for the best master's thesis on sustainability will be awarded. An offer of short courses or micro-credentials on green sustainability will be offered to lifelong learners. +
And use the results toparticipate to an external impact monitoring system and share with other alliances and networks in Europe and beyond,including the European Higher Education Observatory. +
To do so, we will engage students in actions to develop European citizenship awareness: special attention will be paid to including PhD students in the above sub Tasks and to sending student ambassadors in high schools to promote and discuss European citizenship and identity. We will also implement training sessions on European citizenship and identity and their implications on daily life; the target groups of those training sessions will be local rural communities, civic associations, people in the local administrations, migrants and refugees. +
Agree on UNITA preferential fees, fee waivers and the allotment of costs. Prioritise access focusing on major and complementary infrastructures that have a greater potential of being used by all the partners (including Associated Partners and GEMINAE network) relevant to the alliance focus area in education and R&I aiming to become part of a European infrastructure project repository. +
