Larger and deep involvement of the academic community (researchers, teachers, students, staff)	* Number of participants to the matching events disaggregated for kind of Match.Event (researchers, teachers, students, staff)	UNITA Offices
	* Number of research units, partners and AP involved	T4.2 The composition of the res.units that take part to the calls, which are now open calls, is interesting

Notes by T5.4

This task drives the development of new UNITA projects to contribute to the partners in terms of new research and educational offers (for this the TT3.1&3.2 are responsible).
Implementation of new projects at the UNITA level to increase educational offers for students, research opportunities for academic staff, skill development and institutional changes for the partner universities (in collaboration with other tasks linked to the core university missions: 2.1, 3.1 & 3.2, 4.1 & 4.2).
