They also contribute to shaping the Alliance\u2019s strategic vision and guiding its long-term development. The research strategy aims to identify UNITA\u2019s main research focus areas and to foster the development of UNITA research communities, strengthening collaboration among partner institutions. In parallel, the innovation strategy seeks to facilitate knowledge exchange and promote cooperation across different domains of innovation activities, enhancing the Alliance\u2019s collective impact. \u00a0 UNITA Research Strategy Principles Connection with territoriesResearch rooted in local and regional contexts,particularly in rural, mountainous, and cross-border areas, addressing real territorial needs and challenges through strong engagement with local and regional communities. Open ScienceUNITA promotes transparency, accessibility, and sharing of knowledge throughout the research process. Open access to publications, open data, and responsible research practices are key tools to enhance scientific quality and reproducibility. Bringing science closer to citizens Citizens are actively involved in research activities, from data collection to co-creation and dissemination of results. Citizen science is considered both a methodological approach and an educational tool to strengthen scientific literacy, democratic participation, and mutual learning between researchers and society. \u00a0InnovationTransformation of research results into innovative and sustainable solutions, policies, services, and technologies, with measurable social, economic and public health impact. UNITA Research Strategy:A five-stage strategy to develop research communities.\u00a0 UNITA Innovation Strategy:A four-stage strategy to develop innovation.\u00a0 Research CartographyIndicates interest in developing research collaborations.
