A benchmarking of green strategies across the UNITA alliance will be carried out, identifying key alignments and potential pooling of resources. Discussions will be held to unify criteria and clarify concepts. Partners will exchange best practises on green sustainability and the environment-focused curricula will be analysed to identify areas of collaboration. The Green UNITA project, a joint initiative prepared during UNITA firs phase, will be used as starting point. +
The relevant responsible actors will identify existing or design new programmes meeting the requirements of the UNITA degree label. The shared degree programmes will be implemented. +
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. +
Identify the best methodologies, the most adequate materials and the most useful ways of working together to offer the best experience possible in learning languages and practising IC. Adopt them as a UNITA identifier and spread it. +
Chart and examine with experts what methods are best suited to measure the impact of Task outputs on internal and external target groups (e.g for impact on students: the European Graduate Tracking Initiative) and stakeholders and notably the specific indicators we defined under each Task. +
Introduce the new partners to the achievements and lessons learned from RE-UNITA (M2). Map our institutional policies, charters, documentation, etc. as well as our needs to identify common priorities and standards. Collect and share standard and innovative student and staff policies. Make a synopsis of similar and complementary practices to detect potential of synergies and joint actions. Draft, discuss and adopt the UNITA alliance student and staff policies' strategy and action plan at partner and alliance level, aiming at measurable increases in 5 fields: 1) student and staff well-being 2) inclusion and gender equity, 3) staff training, career, and leadership development within the alliance, 4) intra- and extra-entrepreneurship and 5) connecting students' organisations and initiatives. +
Implement the teacher multi-series training and award badges. Collect the trainees' feedbacks on the quality of training and on the application acquired competences in educational activities. Collect feedbacks from students regarding their learning experience and the impact of teacher training on learning. Adjust the teacher training approach. +
Analyse and draw lessons. This inventory will show up what we are already doing and is convenient to continue with, which our key strengths are, what we should share among us, and which aspects should be improved in the next phase. +
Considering objectives, Tasks' progression, indicators' status, risks and issues analysis and mitigation, budget spending, reporting to the governance bodies, in coordination with TT 1.1 and 1.3. Draw lessons based on the users' experience and share intended adjustments with the impacted groups before further updating the Management Guide (M36). +
With this purpose all the relevant information on the different programmes together with detailed practical information on the destination will be disseminated with the help of ‘Mobility ambassadors' (students and staff participating in previous calls will provide evaluation of mobility experiences through systematic survey, peer-to-peer counselling, and social networking for students and staff). Efforts will be made to harmonize call dates and facilitate the application procedures by improving digital solutions for registration, coursework, assessment, and certification, in line with the student card initiative, diploma supplement and Europass. The recognition of all the UNITA learning paths will be ensured. +
On the impact measurement methodology and their results. Accommodate the impact measurement methodology to the feedback received +
The Task Team will elaborate a final report of the Task, with a summary of the project reports, lessons learnt, and a definition of a cooperation sparking model for UNITA. This will model will be used in future cycles of events devised to strengthen even more the community. +
The Smart Specialization Strategies of all UNITA regions will be mapped, as well as the ways in which each university is aligned with them. Synergies among the strategies will be identified, as well as synergies with the UNITA thematic hubs of Task 4.2. A general layout of each innovation ecosystem will be portrayed, categorizing each agent according to their role in the quadruple helix model. Particular attention will be paid to the interaction mechanisms between the universities and the rest of actors (interfaces). This introductory analysis, complemented with the findings of the InnoUNITA project, will set the general framework for the in-depth analysis and connection carried out in the rest of the Task activities, which will focus on four innovation domains: entrepreneurship, industry-oriented teaching and learning, technology transfer and science dissemination. +
Building on phase one benchmarking by the QEB, by including the new partners' QA systems frameworks. Update and adopt the UNITA Quality Assurance policy to be implemented at partner and alliance level, with quantitative and qualitative indicators fitting the new WP and Tasks structure. Define opportunities of partner Quality Assurance synergies, further developing the common Quality Assurance policy respecting different institutional/regional/national contexts. Together with TTs 1.2 and 5.4, agree on the methodology for the evaluation of progress, processes, cost-efficiency, and deliverables, including systematic feedback from students, staff and stakeholders. Update the Quality Assurance plan by drawing a map through a logical table relating Tasks and indicators, defining all the processes to reach the objectives, and building a management quality system with procedure and codification for each process or activity. Train all the Task teams to the quality assurance policy and plan. +
Analyse and benchmark the existing micro-credential- based strategies for lifelong learning (UNITA and other alliances). The analysis will consider different audiences and their needs. +
The UNITA Language Policy will be a manual where all the work lines and approaches adopted will be specified, including an interactive guide for IC teachers. It will be not only useful for the UNITA community, but for any person or institution interested in languages teaching and learning. +
In order to integrate progressively the GEMINAE universities in UNITA different activities we will offer to GEMINAE partners, among others: virtual (namely UCIL, intercomprehension courses) and physical mobility programmes for students and staff (including KA171); rural mobility opportunities for UNITA students in their countries; participation in staff weeks on relevant thematic and best-practices exchanges; access to the thematic research cartography; or procedures to exchange and cooperate on shared funding opportunities, including the collaboration with other alliances. +
To include researchers from new and existing partners. Organize a feedback seminar on strategic R&I plans to develop the links between current hubs on new perspectives and thus the updating of the strategic R&I plans, notably the financial endowments of the hubs. An analysis of the publications of all the partners will be performed in order to suggest enrichment of the cartography. This cartography will be continuously updated along the UNITA life, possibly including GEMINAE partners. +
Interact with the governance bodies (Governance Board, Student Assembly, Quality and Evaluation Board), the Management Committee (i.e. Task Team 1.2), the UNITA Executive Coordinator, the UNITA Office Coordinator, as well as with academic and support staff representatives to co-design the medium-term vision of UNITA. Build the UNITA model of institutionalized European University drawing the evolution of the Legal Entity, and co- design the long-term vision with the Task teams competent for the different strategy plans and actions (e.g. TT1.2, TT1.3, TT2.2, TT2.4, TT3.1, TT3.2, TT3.4, TT4.1, TT4.2, TT4.4, TT5.2, TT5.3, TT5.4, TT5.5) and other experts in the alliance supporting the transformation of the Legal Entity towards the shared European University ambitions. Present the UNITA model of institutionalized European University and discuss in a forum or workshop with the European Commission, the National Authorities, and other Alliances the role, the governance, and the mission of European Universities. +
Once set the requirements of the call for innovative projects in education, launch the call and select and finance the best projects to be implemented. +
