The Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe (UNICA) is a network of 46 universities from the capital cities of Europe, with a combined strength of over 150,000 staff and 1,800,000 students.[1] It also seeks to be a driving force in the development of the Bologna process and to facilitate the integration of universities from Central and Eastern Europe into the European Higher Education Area. The office of the network is located in the University Foundation in Brussels.[2][3]

History

[edit | edit source]

UNICA was founded in 1990 on the initiative of the Université libre de Bruxelles. The mission of the network is to promote academic excellence, integration and cooperation among its member universities throughout Europe. UNICA provides the members with information on European initiatives and programmes, and supports them in co-operative projects, and a forum in which universities can reflect on the demands of strategic change in university research, education and administration.[4][5]

UNICA signed a cooperation agreement with the Erasmus Student Network in March 2014 in the framework of their collaboration in the ExchangeAbility and Mapability.[6]

In 2022, the organization suspended the three Russian universities because of Russia's war in Ukraine and the support of the rectors to Vladimir Putin's policies.[7]
