The University of Edinburgh’s application to re-join the network was approved at the General Assembly in Budapest in November 2017.

UNICA activity is clustered around the following areas – Internationalisation & Mobility, Education, Research & Development, Policy & Strategy and Mission & Link with Society under which sit the following Working Groups; International Relations Officers Meetings (IRO), University PR & Communication, UNICA EDULAB, EU Research Liaison Officers, Doctoral Education, Scholarly Communication, City-University Cooperation and UNICA GREEN.
