Thank you for tuning into UNIC’s Monthly Roundup program. This new series aims to keep our community well-informed by providing a wide-angle recap of UNIC initiatives, events, and happenings all around Europe. As we enter Year 3 of the UNIC alliance, there’s so much happening that we felt this once-a-month digest was necessary to help the UNIC family stay connected despite the distance.
Each edition will focus on one headline story from the month gone by, followed by a recap of all UNIC events and links to news items that featured the alliance. As always, we welcome feedback and inputs - you can reach us anytime through the contact page on this website.
