It evokes the strong links and commonalities that bring us together to create a ground-breaking and innovative alliance aiming at a deeper level of integration. Universitas Montium, written in Latin, stresses a common heritage and the fact that UNITA universities all speak Romance languages. https:\/\/youtu.be\/Jg_CGOUvK5I?si=9i2FyOLsPUaj9uja Our values EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP We share a strong commitment to contribute to the development of our societies and territories in a European dimension, including the awareness of a\u00a0shared European citizenship\u00a0and the contribution to the permanently ongoing\u00a0construction of European identity.
