As universities with a sound background of experience in international networks and joint research, educational and innovation projects, we aspire '''to shape a new model for an integrated European university'''. Together with actors from the socio-economic sector, public authorities, policy-makers and civil organizations as associated partners, we will foster a unique ecosystem with a powerful transformational potential on our universities and territories.

==Commonalities==
The ''[https://univ-unita.eu/Sites/unita/en/Pagina/unita#who_we_are UNITA - Universitas Montium]'' Alliance relies on three common key features:  
* '''Rural and cross-border mountain regions location''' (Serra da Estrela for Beira Interior, the Pyrenees for Pau and Zaragoza, the Alps for Savoie Mont Blanc and Turin, and the Banat Mountains for Timisoara).  
* '''Use of Romance languages''' (Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian) allowing to promote '''multilingualism''' through an '''inter-comprehension approach'''.
* '''Three areas''': '''Cultural Heritage, Renewable Energies, and Circular Economy'''.

==Vision==  
The ''[https://univ-unita.eu/Sites/unita/en/Pagina/unita#who_we_are UNITA - Universitas Montium]'' Alliance intends to build an inspiring European inter-university campus based both on excellence in learning and teaching and on research and innovation for and with the territories. Its goal is to drive excellence in the European Higher Education area and become attractive for non-EU students also, in particular those from Romance-speaking countries.  
During the three-year pilot, with the aim of implementing new models of research-based teaching and strategies to have an impact on our territories in terms of innovation and knowledge transfer, UNITA pursues the '''following objectives''':  
# Creating a participative, open, inclusive and effective European University.  
# Developing excellent research-driven and student-centred education.  
# Promoting multilingualism and the diversity of languages in Europe.  
# Reducing inequalities between core and non-central regions through the sustainable development of rural and mountain areas.  
# Creating an inspiring learning environment.  
# Reaching Mobility for all.  
# Contributing to strengthening European identity, citizenship and values.  
# Ensuring the continuity and uptake of UNITA approach.  
To pursue these goals, UNITA – Universitas Montium chooses to focus its actions on shared values such as European diversity, Social responsibility, Democratic participation, Inclusiveness, Personal development and Sustainability.

==Key Actions== 
* Flexible, '''student-centred and quality learning''' with a strong commitment to the needs of rural and mountain territories. 
* '''Inter-comprehension''' between Romance languages to promote '''multilingualism''' and as a tool for inclusion and employability, in order to enable diverse students to have a powerful learning experience and to offer opportunities to the diverse staff community to enhance their professional skills.  
* Focus on '''sustainability''' through research and innovation in Cultural Heritage, Renewable Energies, and Circular Economy, including the Bioeconomy, to strengthen our local communities.  
* Boost inclusive '''mobility''': multiply staff and student mobility by 10, integrating “Rural Erasmus mobility”, new forms of mobility (short-term, virtual, blended), using the digital learning space of the Inter-University campus.
