EUNICE continues to strengthen its global presence, welcoming the Federal University of Vi\u00e7osa (Brazil) as its new Associated Partner.<\/h3>\n

Recognizing the importance of expanding the alliance\u2019s international network, the General Assembly has focused on defining a strategy to enhance global cooperation, culminating in the addition of this new associated partner.<\/p>\n

Organized by the University of the Peloponnese, the General Assembly was held from 13 to 16 October, in Kalamata<\/strong>, Greece. This event has brought together Rectors, Vice-Rectors, members of the EUNICE Board of Directors, the AISBL (EUNICE legal entity), the EUNICE Student Advisory Board (ESAB) and various working groups with a focus on project management, academic offering, research collaboration and the enhancement of international courses and activities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00bb\u00bb text_direction=\u00bbdefault\u00bb]Over three days of productive discussions, partners have worked to continue deepening cooperation and establishing sustainable structures to support the alliance\u2019s long-term development.<\/p>\n

A key outcome of the Assembly has been the approval of the Joint Open Lab (JOL) Memorandum of Agreement<\/strong> (MoA) by the Board of Directors. This agreement will facilitate the harmonization of equipment and infrastructure access across all EUNICE partner institutions, laying the foundation for a shared research ecosystem within the alliance\u2019s network. With the establishment of the JOL regulations, EUNICE has become one of the eight European University Alliances to attain this level of collaborative integration.<\/p>\n

Alongside these developments, the Vice-Rectors for Research sessions have highligthed the need to further strengthen<\/strong> research collaboration<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>across EUNICE universities. Discussions pivoted around mapping common research areas, identifying strategic synergies and exploring opportunities for developing joint projects. To support these efforts, a Research Support Task Force has been established, comprising a member from each partner university and chaired by Prof. Cristina Santriano (University of Catania). This group will provide targeted administrative and coordination support to foster joint research activities across the alliance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\u00bbin_container\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb column_margin=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction_tablet=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_direction_phone=\u00bbdefault\u00bb scene_position=\u00bbcenter\u00bb text_color=\u00bbdark\u00bb text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb row_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb row_border_radius_applies=\u00bbbg\u00bb overflow=\u00bbvisible\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb shape_divider_position=\u00bbbottom\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_phone=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb column_element_direction_desktop=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_element_spacing=\u00bbdefault\u00bb desktop_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_backdrop_filter=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb column_position=\u00bbdefault\u00bb gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ width=\u00bb1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb animation_type=\u00bbdefault\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb border_type=\u00bbsimple\u00bb column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb][vc_gallery css=\u00bb\u00bb type=\u00bbflickity_style\u00bb images=\u00bb58695,58715,58725,58786,58735,58745,58755,58776,58765″ flickity_spacing=\u00bbdefault\u00bb flickity_controls=\u00bbpagination\u00bb flickity_overflow=\u00bbhidden\u00bb flickity_wrap_around=\u00bbwrap\u00bb flickity_desktop_columns=\u00bb1″ flickity_small_desktop_columns=\u00bb1″ flickity_tablet_columns=\u00bb1″ flickity_phone_columns=\u00bb1″ flickity_box_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb image_loading=\u00bbdefault\u00bb onclick=\u00bblink_no\u00bb][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_tablet=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_phone=\u00bbinherit\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb column_element_direction_desktop=\u00bbdefault\u00bb column_element_spacing=\u00bbdefault\u00bb desktop_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1″ column_backdrop_filter=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb column_position=\u00bbdefault\u00bb gradient_direction=\u00bbleft_to_right\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3″ width=\u00bb1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb animation_type=\u00bbdefault\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb border_type=\u00bbsimple\u00bb column_border_width=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00bb\u00bb text_direction=\u00bbdefault\u00bb]Commenting on the Assembly, the Rector of the University of the Peloponnese and host of the event, Prof. Athanassios Katsis remarked:
\n\u201cIt was a very constructive General Assembly. EUNICE is growing stronger with plenty of initiatives for education and research for all members of the academic communities of the ten partner universities. This was a great opportunity to meet and develop our common strategy as well as work towards our goals in the presence of both Greek and EU officials\u201d.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
