Final definition of UNITA EUROPEAN SOCIETY by laws for the post-project phase

Friday 13 January 2023, at the Rectorate of the University of Turin, the six universities belonging to the UNITA alliance (University of Turin, University of Savoie-Mont Blanc, University of Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, University of Zaragoza, University of Beira Interior, University of Vest din Timisoara), the first in Europe, signed the founding act of the European Economic Interest Grouping UNITA-Universitas Montium (EEIG). A signature that represents an effective tool to strengthen institutional collaboration between the members of the alliance and constitutes an important step towards the goal of the European University. The EEIG will make it possible to experiment with new ways of transnational cooperation to facilitate transnational academic collaboration at European level, in line with the European Commission's strategies in the field of higher education. The main objective is to support the functioning of the alliance on the institutional missions of the university, serving an audience of over 165,000 students and more than 15,000 teaching and technical-administrative staff. The EEIG will offer students excellent training and research staff strengthened and transdisciplinary partnerships capable of promoting innovation in the territories concerned and with a European dimension. At the same time, UNITA is preparing the candidacy for the second phase of the European Universities Initative project, which provides for an additional 6 years of funding of the initiative and expansion to 12 partner universities, with the aim of making the participating universities more competitive and attractive.
The present report contains the statutes of the UNITA Universitas Montium European Economic Interest Group in the original italian version. The UNITA EEIG was registered at the local Chamber of Commerce on 25 January 2023.
