With 10 Alliance partners, an expanded commitment to the university of the future, and support from the European Commission (EC) for the next four years, the European University of Cities in Post-Industrial Transition (UNIC) is ready to kickstart its second phase in October 2023.

As UNIC, we are connected by shared identity, vision and strategy. All ten universities operate in cities in postindustrial transition; our staff, researchers and students play a key role in the changing environment. We are connected by a commitment to foster transformative modes of teaching, research and learning that respond to the challenges faced by our cities. Increasingly superdiverse populations requires attention to inclusion and accessibility across this work.

Together, we strive to promote common European values and strengthen European identity while working on institutional transformation of European higher education institutions.

Virtual mobility represents an innovative leap in higher education by expanding internationalization opportunities, transcending geographical constraints, and fostering inclusive, sustainable, and technology- driven learning experiences. UNIC is dedicated to advancing virtual mobility, and this new declaration takes the first bold step.

Calling education and social sciences professionals who want to analyse and shape European superdiverse societies’ transition to an inclusive, productive and sustainable future. UNIC's new interdisciplinary Joint Master's Programme - an MA in Superdiversity in Education, Organisations, and Society (SEOS) - is now open for applications! Deadline to apply is 15 May (non-EU/non-EFTA) or 15 July (EU/EFTA)
