UNIC places inclusion and mobility at the core of a new European University, developing models for teaching and learning in “superdiverse” settings. To this end, UNIC promotes (and supports) what we call Engaged Research, and drives changes in institutional culture and academic governance within the alliance. The results, from handbooks on integrating mobility into existing university courses to joint masters programmes taught across eight university campuses, equip the next generation of global citizens with the 21st century skills and knowledge to address the challenges of changing urban contexts in Europe and beyond. The UNIC Identity is defined by our geographical spread, our members’ shared post-industrial history, and the immense diversity within the alliance.
