BE UNICA – Bringing Europe to Universities and Capital Cities. UNICA is a network of universities in the capital cities of Europe. Founded in 1990, it currently consists of 56 universities from 41 European capital cities, uniting over 150,000 university staff and 1.5 million students. Since its establishment, UNICA has been fostering cooperation between member universities and local and European public institutions. It facilitates the exchange of best practices, experiences, and expertise while disseminating information on key issues in the higher education and research sector. These organizational objectives align with the European Union's interests, directly contributing to the EU's policy objectives as outlined in the call for proposals. UNICA will continue to work toward these objectives in the next three years through various activities grouped into four clusters: 1. Management and Organizational Development 2. Capacity Building and Cooperation among Member Universities 3. Policy and Advocacy 4. Information Dissemination and Awareness Raising UNICA's communication and dissemination activities, along with their impact, are monitored and evaluated through methods such as membership surveys, activity evaluations, media engagement, communication strategies, partnerships, access to and impact on policy processes, as well as feedback from members and partners.
