The following key activities will contribute to the future of UNIC University:

Through the implementation of an ambitious institutional deposit policy, our University has positioned itself as an Open Access pioneer, both at the national and international levels and acts as role-model. The compulsory deposit mandate adopted by the University in 2007 has led to the success of the ORBi institutional repository. This commitment was confirmed with the creation of different Open Access platforms intended to widely disseminate the scientific production of ULiège. This Open access policy contributes to inclusion of researchers and dissemination of knowledge
Through distance learning (MOOCs, etc.) and simulation facilities. The jobs@skills initiative gives digital support to professional skills and profiles
Inclusion values are expressed by
Offering international opportunities to all, in both teaching and research
Raising the visibility of research trans-disciplinary centres of excellence, as IMISCOE in societal changes
ULiège formally committed with the principles of the European Charter and Code of conduct for the recruitment of the researchers and developed an HR strategy for providing and supporting a stimulating and favourable working environment for researchers. ULiège received the award “HR excellence in research” from the EU Commission.

The role and responsibility of the university in UNIC CityLabs is connected with our commitment to society and because of our strong ties with the City of Liège which include the creation of the “Maison des Sciences de l’Homme”, organizing debates and events on society topics and concerns. In the CityLabs, creativity and entrepreneurship are fostered by the “Liège Creative” initiative, giving room to dialogue between humanities and sciences. Modernisation of the University will be effective by digitalisation, but also by the “management of change”:

Simplifying procedures and international connections in order to foster better governance, including integration into networks and up skilling-based development of carriers.
Quality management is one of the explicit challenges for ULiège since 1998, with the first institutional assessment request by the EUA. Since then, a number of initiatives have been undertaken for the improvement of teaching, research and the administrative operations of the institution. Working on integrated governance within the UNIC consortium is a good challenge in term of sustainable quality of procedures.

In addition, the University of Liège is experienced as a socially responsible university to address science-societal issues in meeting between academics, researchers, practitioners and civil society actors by supporting citizen initiatives carried out by ULiège researchers. The University of Liège relies on their experience with bringing companies and entrepreneurial expertise into the university (VentureLab), bringing entrepreneurs and the creative sector together (Liège Creative) and uniting the city and social sciences (Maison de Science de l’Homme).
