    Task number 4
    Name UNITA seamless mobility
    Strategic Axes Communities building
    Workpackage Developing UNITA communities




    Objectives

    This Task aims at gradually making seamless and embedded mobility both for students and academic and support staff a structural feature at all levels through a series of targeted and measurable joint mobility actions. We will align and evolve strategies to support physical, blended mobility or virtual learning. The Task builds on the achievements of UNITA phase one, aiming at a significant increase of physical, blended, and virtual mobilities within the alliance. Difficulties in phase one were the precarious conditions of IT management tools, the different academic timetables, lack of information, limited financial support and academic recognition. The Task team will work at partner and alliance level to implement and test the mobility actions in a step-by-step approach, supporting mobility in general with a particular emphasis on intra-alliance and rural mobility, working towards a 50% target set for 2030.

    • Realise seamless mobility opportunities for students and staff by embedding mobility as a structural feature at all levels of the alliance, with a particular emphasis on intra-alliance and rural mobility.
    • Pave the way towards seamless mobility by reducing obstacles and simplifying procedures including automatic recognition.

    Activities / Subtasks

    List of sub-tasks Actions to implement Deadline
    A2.4.1 Define an alliance mobility strategy and action plan composed of a series of UNITA mobility actions fostering mobility as a structural alliance feature (M12). Implement and test each of the mobility actions on a small scale by dividing partners into focus groups, then share good practices and extend involvement to each partner. (M1-M12) 10.2024
    A2.4.2 Encourage and facilitate mobility: 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. (M2-M36) 10.2026
    A2.4.3 Ensure accessible mobility for every student: 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. (M2-M48) 10.2027
    A2.4.4 Enhance the impact on the territories: UNITA Rural Mobility: 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. (M6-M46) 08.2027
    A2.4.5 Track careers after mobilities. Organise career tracking of students participating in the UNITA mobilities during the first two years to assess the impact of mobility (together with T5.4). The impact on the career will be measured two years later. The European Graduate Tracking Initiative of the European Commission will be used as a reference framework. (M24-M48) 10.2027
