As UNIC, we are connected by shared identity, vision and strategy. All ten universities operate in cities in postindustrial transition; our staff, researchers and students play a key role in the changing environment.
We are connected by a commitment to foster transformative modes of teaching, research and learning that respond to the challenges faced by our cities. Increasingly superdiverse populations requires attention to inclusion and accessibility across this work.
Together, we strive to promote common European values and strengthen European identity while working on institutional transformation of European higher education institutions.

We will take inclusion to the next level, using our current expertise in superdiversity to broaden educational opportunities for non-traditional students, including members of new migrant communities and people living in socio-economically disadvantaged areas.
