Brief explanatory videos in IC and Romance languages in blended Language for Specific Purposes courses, ensuring the promotion and dissemination of the label/badge within the UNITA community. Those "how-to pills" will focus on delicate issues on learning languages and IC which cover a gap in the needs of the UNITA community. All along the 4 years international and inter-alliance events, workshops, weeks, or congresses with user-generated content about language learning and teaching and pedagogical innovation will be held. We will collect and assess feedback from a variety of students, teachers and territorial actors on the effectiveness and impact of Romance languages learning and IC in teaching and learning. +
Define standards for the elected UGS programmes to award them the UNITA label. The elected programmes elaborate on existing courses in alliance focus areas and include subject-specific trainings validated by the alliance research hubs. They are designed following the EU principles for innovative doctoral training (for both the master and doctoral levels) and include mandatory mobility. Agree on actions to develop and inter-connect partners master and doctoral education programmes, such as joint "doctoriales", summer schools, "My three-minute thesis" competition, etc. Define the selection process of the UGS candidates considering the HRS4R principles. Promote the enrolment in the UGS master programmes among the alliance and the GEMINAE network. Refine existing PhD co-tutelles schemes. Apply to Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Cofunds, Doctoral Network) and Erasmus Mundus joint master programmes. +
The Task will start with a (UNITA) state-of-the-art of past experiences. It relies on many examples, either stand-alone or single, multiple, joint degree transformation exercises, or best practices on multilingual student-centred pedagogies and digital learning. +
Update and develop a multilingual communication plan. Implement an internal procedure to collect information. Create common harmonized formats and templates to be used by partners through different media channels considering the type of information and user. Create a common events agenda. Create harmonised communication tools and strategies at alliance and partner level. +
We will implement courses on European identity using virtual mobility for the university communities, particularly students. We will also organize every two years a Winter or Summer School on the different approaches to EC, involving students and teachers from different UNITA universities. +
Test the communication plan on a sample of communication and dissemination priorities per target group and per organization. Analysis of the feedback from the target groups regarding the impact of the multilingual dissemination plan. Verify the results of the communication activities engagement of the audience segments. Social media: publishing regular messages. +
Internationalization at home will be fostered by increasing a virtual mobility offer which can be attractive for the students, together with the promotion of UNITA Collaborative International Learning UCIL). BIPS and new programmes of short term ‘initiating' mobilities will be explored. When possible, mobility windows will be included in programmes, beginning with a pilot. +
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. +
The new partners have been associated with the project's activities since June 2021, resulting in an easier and shorter acquaintance process. +
In cooperation with Task 5.2 and the Legal Entity create and implement the business model of the UNITA micro-credentials. +
Including meeting programs, in connection with Task 1.2, improving the current governance of the alliance based on the experience of the pilot phase and adapting it to the enlargement of the alliance. Two UNITA weeks are organized each year, each by a different partner; during the days, physical (if possible) meetings of (and between) the following boards/teams are organised: Governance Board UNITA and Conseil Stratégique of the Legal Entity, Quality & Evaluation Board, Student Assembly, Task Team 1.1 & Comité de Proposition et Pilotage of the Legal Entity, Task Team 1.2, Work Packages Teams (considering each Constellation project as a different WP). Integrate the Legal Entity in the alliance set up and activities. +
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. +
Organize a series of UNITA Task-related matching events, hosted by different members of the alliance. Each university will autonomously determine the participants of each matching event, according to commonly agreed rules. Their objective will be to set-up formal collaborations with the potential to leverage the effect of Tasks linked to the core university missions. They will be organized in close cooperation with the Task Team of the Task in which they impact. The events will take place before M18, to ensure their effect during the 4-year period. At least two events will be organized in each university, but the final number of events could increase if additional resources are invested by the universities or collected from AP or other external agents interested in the topics. There will be four categories of matching events: * Matching events on education to explore new shared education paths (impact on T3.1, T.3.2) * Matching events on research to connect research groups (impact on T4.2) * Matching events on innovation to work, preferably hand-in-hand with associated partners, on local ecosystems needs, technology transfer projects, upskilling and reskilling through micro-credentials, etc. (impact on T4.1) * Matching events on university life, with a focus on the well-being of the university community, promotion of sports, cultural activities, etc. (impact on T2.1). Cross-disciplinary and cross-domain events will be possible as well. In some cases, an online pre-event will be organized to facilitate contacts and start building synergies among participants. During the events, the participants will present their background and ideas, and they will have time to align their objectives and converge in a common project. All events will include an introductory session to UNITA. Thus, they will also serve as internal dissemination events. +
Chart and examine current inter- alliance and international collaborations of all the partners. Introduce the new ones: to the FOREU2 network of the 24 European Alliances of the 2nd wave; to the students of European universities meetings; and to the European universities' community. Redefine with the new UNITA partners the list of universities involved in the GEMINAE initiative, adding to it new partners that can bring an added value to the Alliance. Then design the UNITA international relations policy strategy and plan according to the UNITA priority fields in education, R&I and capacity building (Tasks 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2). Create an action plan for the following years. +
We will create a permanent connection among the UNITA technology transfer offices, identifying roles and procedures and sharing best practices and contacts. In collaboration with Task 5.2 and the Legal Entity, a map of research and innovation calls will be identified at regional, national, and European level, in which the actors of the ecosystem (companies, institutions) may participate together with the Universities to promote technology transfer and inter-territorial knowledge sharing. Equipped with the cartography of UNITA researchers and the innovation ecosystems layouts, this network will facilitate the formation of consortia for the different calls. It will also be able to respond to any technological or scientific territorial actor need with all the resources of the vast UNITA research community. Thus, the network will become a relevant actor in the financial sustainability of the alliance. +
In collaboration with 4.1 and our associated partners the needs of UNITA's territories will be analysed in terms of up-skilling and re-skilling. We will also look into the needs of our students in terms of flexibilisation of study paths (Task 3.1) and employability. At least two calls will be launched with the aim to select the projects for the creation of new UNITA micro-credentials tailored to the emerged needs. +
Needed and the procedures being put in place to realise them at each partner institution and accommodate them legally, technically, and financially to develop a UNITA corporate identity of shared research services and infrastructures. +
