Higher representatives, staff and students from the ten EUNICE universities, together with external universities recognised as EUNICE academic associated partners, as well as members of the Expert Advisory Board and the Student Advisory Board, gathered to shape EUNICE\u2019s direction as it is about to enter a new chapter.<\/p>\n

This event served as the first face-to\u2011face meeting between EUNICE and its academic associated partners, giving each university the opportunity to present their strengths, ongoing projects and areas of knowledge to deepen cooperation. The EUNICE alliance also began to shape a framework to offer associated partners’ courses to all EUNICE students \u2014 a process already under way with the Medical University of Bia\u0142ystok, Poland, with whom joint initiatives are already running.<\/p>\n

International expansion was further reinforced through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Federal University of Vi\u00e7osa (UFV) in Brazil.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe signing of the agreement with UFV marks another important step in strengthening the international dimension of EUNICE. It reflects our ambition to position the alliance not only as a driver of European higher education integration, but also as a globally connected academic ecosystem open to strategic cooperation beyond Europe,\u201d stated the Secretary General of EUNICE AISBL, Dr. Magdalena Sikorska.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Brazilian university has already proposed several courses for EUNICE students for the next academic year, and a delegation from the EUNICE alliance will travel to Vi\u00e7osa to seek collaborations opportunities in education and research.
\nBeyond this global expansion, the EUNICE General Assembly was deeply focused on the next call of the European Universities Initiative, expected next year. This upcoming call will determine the continuation of EUNICE beyond 2027, making it one of the alliance\u2019s most strategic priorities. A thorough assessment of the ongoing work on the proposal took place in Pozna\u0144, where representatives of the different EUNICE universities discussed the alliance\u2019s long\u2011term vision, governance model and academic strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe discussions in Pozna\u0144 clearly showed that EUNICE enters the next phase as a mature and ambitious alliance, ready to further strengthen its governance, academic integration and long-term strategic impact within the European Higher Education landscape,\u201d added the Secretary General.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The alliance’s Expert Advisory Board and Student Advisory Board also gathered during the General Assembly, and contributed with their expertise to shape EUNICE’s future policies and long-term strategic direction.<\/p>\n

As the alliance looks ahead to the next European Universities Initiative call, this General Assembly in Pozna\u0144 made clear that EUNICE enters this new phase “stronger and more connected than ever,” concluded Dr. Magdalena Sikorska.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery css=”” type=”flexslider_style” images=”63756,63757,63758,63785,63777,63784,63778,63780,63771,63783,63776,63779,63781,63750,63754,63751,63752,63768,63765,63764,63767,63769,63770,63763,63766,63772,63773,63749,63753,63760,63755,63759,63761,63762,63782,63786,63787,63774,63775″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
