The Teaching & Learning network of the UNITA Alliance is launching a new call for projects for teaching staff from partner universities.
The call aims to strengthen collaboration across the Alliance by supporting the development of new teaching and learning approaches and the creation of joint microcredentials.
The call consists of two parts:
1. Innovation in Teaching & Learning
This first part supports collaborative projects that contribute to the development of innovative teaching and learning practices. Proposals may focus on:
- teaching methods and learning environments;
- student-centred approaches;
- international learning initiatives (COIL, internationalisation of teaching);
- inclusive teaching practices;
- new assessment methods;
- lifelong learning and skills development.
Projects must involve at least three UNITA partner universities (or two partners in the case of COIL projects).
Funding is available up to €15,000 for projects involving three or more partners, and up to €10,000 for COIL projects involving two partners.
2. Microcredentials
This second part supports the joint development of microcredentials by universities within the Alliance.
The aim is to create short, certified learning opportunities that support lifelong learning while contributing to a shared European educational offer.
Projects must involve at least two UNITA partner universities.
Selected projects may receive funding of up to €2,000. Project teams will also be invited to participate in a working workshop in Covilhã (Portugal) on 24–25 November 2026. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered through a dedicated budget
Practical information
Projects must be coordinated by a permanent member of the teaching staff of a UNITA partner university. Applications must be submitted in English.
