Alliance-Ready: Key Competences for Professional Staff to Navigate International Projects in HEIs

Una Europa is an alliance of 11 leading research-intensive universities from all corners of Europe. Together, we are forging a new path for education and research in Europe and beyond to shape our shared future for the better. The Una Europa community spans more than half a million students, 100,000 members of staff and 10 languages, grounded in over 1,000 years of collective heritage.

Una Europa partner universities:

Freie Universität Berlin | Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna | University College Dublin/An Coláiste Ollscoile Baile Átha Cliath | University of Edinburgh | Helsingin yliopisto/Helsingfors universitet | Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie | Universiteit Leiden | KU Leuven | Universidad Complutense de Madrid | Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne | Universität Zürich

Founded in 2019, Una Europa has secured successive rounds of European Union funding to realise our vision for a European ‘University of the Future’. In just three years, the alliance’s pilot project succeeded in launching nine joint programmes – including Europe’s first truly joint bachelor’s degree – transcending boundaries of discipline, institution, and country to take international collaboration to the next level. The alliance has also taken its first steps towards a common research ecosystem underpinned by a shared research and innovation agenda.

Guided by its 2030 Strategy, Una Europa is working towards a truly inter-university and pan-European campus, shaped by universities’ universal and fundamentally interwoven obligations to society: research and innovation, teaching and learning, and societal outreach.

This badge certifies that the participant successfully completed the programme and the project-based assessment of this training.

The earner is now able to critically interpret European University Alliances as complex organisational transformations, recognising the interplay between strategic ambitions, human and intercultural dynamics, engagement, communication, and collaborative governance, as well as the opportunities and limitations of AI-supported work.

Furthermore, the participant can reflect on their own role in supporting collaboration and institutional change across organisational and cultural boundaries. This strengthens an "Alliance-Ready" competence: the capacity to seamlessly connect strategy, people, and transformation in complex international HE environments.
