Rectors, vice-rectors, coordinators, project leaders and students came together to discuss the alliance\u2019s strategic priorities and define the next steps in its development as it prepares for the upcoming European Universities Initiative call.<\/p>\n

The General Assembly served as a major milestone following the feedback recently received from the European Commission regarding the final year of the current project. Building on this feedback, representatives discussed how EUNICE can strengthen its achievements while refining its long-term vision and strategic ambitions.<\/p>\n

A significant part of the meeting focused on the alliance\u2019s future direction and preparations for the next European Universities Initiative proposal, which will be submitted after the turn of the year. Discussions led to a shared understanding of the alliance\u2019s priorities and key activities for the coming years, while work also began on developing the first draft of the new application.<\/p>\n

\u00abThe discussions in Karlstad marked an important step in shaping the future of EUNICE. Building on the progress achieved so far and taking into account the feedback from the European Commission, we further clarified our shared vision and ambitions for the next phase of the Alliance. The strong commitment of our member universities and collaborative spirit demonstrated throughout the General Assembly provide a solid foundation for EUNICE\u2019s continued development and for the preparation of the next European Universities Initiative proposal,\u00bb<\/em> says Dr. Magdalena Sikorska, Secretary General of EUNICE AISBL.<\/p>\n

Student engagement remained a central theme throughout the General Assembly. During discussions between the rectors and the Student Advisory Board, student representatives highlighted key priorities, including early student involvement in decision-making processes, greater inclusivity across alliance activities and a continued commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n

Strengthening the academic dimension<\/h3>\n

Another highlight of the meeting was a collaborative workshop involving vice-rectors for education and representatives from Work Package 2, which focuses on EUNICE\u2019s academic offer. The workshop explored how member universities can further develop and promote their excellence programmes, contributing to a stronger and more integrated educational portfolio across the alliance.<\/p>\n

These discussions reflected EUNICE\u2019s continued ambition to enhance educational cooperation and provide students with high-quality learning opportunities across the alliance.<\/p>\n

Throughout the General Assembly, several parallel meetings and workshops took place, bringing together representatives working within areas such as research, innovation and mobility. Participants reviewed ongoing initiatives and explored new opportunities for collaboration across the alliance. Today, EUNICE offers a wide range of opportunities for students and staff, including shared courses, microcredentials, mobility programmes and seed funding schemes that support joint research and educational projects.<\/p>\n

New leadership<\/h3>\n

The General Assembly also marked an important moment for the governance of the alliance. During the meeting, the EUNICE AISBL General Assembly elected Prof. Teofil Jesionowski<\/strong>, Rector of Poznan University of Technology, as the new President of EUNICE AISBL. The alliance also elected Prof.\u00a0Maria Figueiredo<\/strong>,\u00a0Pro-President for EUNICE\u00a0at the Polytechnic University of Viseu (Portugal), as President of EUNICE Board of Directors, and Prof. Gabriel Moncali\u00e1n<\/strong>, Vice-Rector for University Transformation at the University of Cantabria (Spain), as Vice-President.

As EUNICE moves towards the next European Universities Initiative call, the General Assembly in Karlstad demonstrated the alliance\u2019s continued commitment to deeper cooperation, academic excellence and a shared vision for the future of European higher education.[\/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 row_position_desktop=\u00bbdefault\u00bb row_position_tablet=\u00bbinherit\u00bb row_position_phone=\u00bbinherit\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 flex_gap_desktop=\u00bb10px\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 max_width_alignment_desktop=\u00bbdefault\u00bb max_width_alignment_tablet=\u00bbinherit\u00bb max_width_alignment_phone=\u00bbinherit\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=\u00bbflexslider_style\u00bb images=\u00bb66169,66170,66171,66168″ onclick=\u00bblink_image\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
