mobility
The mobilities and trips made by members of the UVT community to the partner universities between November 2020 and October 2023, as well as those of the members of the alliance universities to UVT, represented a significant contribution in the 3 years of piloting the activities within the UNITA European University. Through them, not only the exchange of knowledge and academic experience was facilitated, but opportunities were created for the exchange of best practices, for collaborative approaches and jointly developed actions, for the piloting of innovative initiatives, all of which have a direct impact on the quality of the process educational at the alliance level. Thus, the international mobilities and movements within the alliance represent more than simple means of knowledge transfer, having the role of essential tools for strengthening cohesion and the spirit of community in the supranational context of the UNITA European University.
UNITA Rural Mobility represents a specific UNITA initiative, unique in the general context of European University Alliances, which offers students the opportunity to follow internships within organizations, institutions or companies located in the rural areas associated with the alliance, from the 5 states. This unique type of mobilities, with a duration that can vary between 3 weeks and 2 months, aims to contribute to the development of students' skills and increase their employability, but also to support a close connection with local ecosystems in rural areas and mountains, to support them to develop.
UNITA Virtual Mobility are a type of mobility that allow UNITA students to take an online course of another university, staying in their home institution and benefiting from the credit transfer system at the end of the course.
