Quality, Impact & Data Strategy Institutionalizing UNITApedia as a European Observatory · 2028–2034

Building an integrated quality-impact framework driven by predictive analytics and a unified European excellence culture.

🏛️ 1. Strategy Description[edit | edit source]

By 2034, UNITA will establish a unified **European Excellence Culture**. The core of this transformation is **UNITApedia**—a pioneering observatory that integrates:
