UNICA

UNICA is a network of 42 universities from the capital cities of
Europe, with a combined strength of over 120,000 staff and 1,500,000
students. Its role is to promote academic excellence, integration and
co-operation between member universities throughout Europe. It seeks
also 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.

To achieve its aims UNICA articulates the views of member
universities to European institutions and to national, regional and
municipal governments. It provides members with information on European
initiatives and programmes, and supports them in co-operative projects.
It also provides a forum in which universities can reflect on the
demands of strategic change in university research, education and
administration.
