People

As a member of Una Europa, the University of Edinburgh joins a vibrant European staff and student community. It aims to build relationships and create mutually beneficial, long-lasting, and constructive networks for our students, researchers, academics and alumni.

Research

Through mapping research strengths and infrastructures, Una Europa works with its partners to develop an interdisciplinary challenge-based research strategy. Executing a trusted atmosphere for research, with enthusiastic and willing collaborators, ensures that researchers can work together and respond quickly and effectively to relevant external funding calls.

Teaching and learning

The alliance improves student and staff experience by expanding the breadth and choice of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, postgraduate, and digital education.  Through challenge-based mobility initiatives, student networks, internships and mentoring positions, Una Europa seeks to support creating critically-minded and culturally sensitive students by providing accessible cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary learning opportunities that maximise their potential. The Una Europa Lifelong Learning Certificates, Micro-credentials, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide a truly transnational learning culture for continuous education on societal challenges. 

Una Europa aligns with the University’s ambitions for Curriculum Transformation and provides continued opportunities for large-scale student and staff mobility across Europe with trusted and reliable partners in desirable cities from across Europe.

Social and civic responsibility 

Una Europa's Manifesto publicly declares the alliance's aims and beliefs, leading actions and activities that deliver positive change locally, regionally and globally. By tackling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the alliance is fulfilling the University's Social and Civic Responsibility Delivery Plan (2020 to 2030).
