Programme Focus
The programme focused on advancing the digital infrastructure of the Uninovis alliance, with a strong emphasis on building a more connected, inclusive and interoperable European higher education space.
Representatives from the Alliance worked together on key topics such as digital identity, personal data management and the development of a future distributed digital platform for the alliance.
European Student Charter Initiative
One of the highlights of the week was the exchange of perspectives on the European Student Charter initiative, exploring the challenges and opportunities it presents for student mobility and digital services between institutions.
Collaboration with European Projects
The working team of the Alliance also had the opportunity to explore synergies with other European projects, such as aUPaEU, thanks to the presentation by Alba Roma Gómez, who introduced the vision and capabilities of the Ágora platform, offering valuable insights for future collaborations.
Special thanks go to the local team from the University of Málaga, who ensured the smooth running of the event. Appreciation is also due to Down Málaga for its energising coffee breaks that kept the momentum going throughout the week.
This BIP represented a significant step forward in strengthening digital cooperation between European universities, reinforcing the shared commitment to innovation, inclusion and the digital transformation of higher education.
