This year, the European Commission approved the funding of a significant project for the European University Alliance UNINOVIS, in <\/span>whose activities<\/span> Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution (HEI) actively participates. The international network connecting universities from France, Finland, Italy, Spain, Germany and other countries will reach a new stage of development in the next few years, the result of which is the application of data science in various fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Kauno kolegija HEI leaders, membership in a strong international alliance opens up new perspectives for students and researchers <\/span>and serves<\/span> Kauno kolegija HEI in <\/span>its pursuit of<\/span> the status of a university of applied sciences. This achievement <\/span>is a significant contribution<\/span> to strengthening the <\/span>institution\u2019s<\/span> position in the international space, implementing joint study programmes, and strengthening its scientific potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Kauno kolegija HEI Director Dr Andrius Brusokas, the approval of the UNINOVIS alliance project application is an appreciation of several years of focused work in forming a sustainable academic network based on applied data science, which involved all alliance partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018T<\/span>his achievement of Kauno kolegija HEI is extremely significant and important both for our institution and <\/span>for<\/span> the entire Lithuanian higher education sector. At the same time, it <\/span>is also recognition of<\/span> Kauno kolegija HEI as a sustainable higher education institution in the international arena,<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>notes Dr A. Brusokas.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Director, the <\/span>alliance<\/span> opens up broader opportunities to strengthen the quality of studies and develop applied science and art <\/span>at an international level<\/span>. Kauno kolegija HEI had established in its strategy a vision to become an advanced and sustainable higher education institution several years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018I<\/span> am very pleased with this achievement of Kauno kolegija HEI and the <\/span>work of the entire team<\/span> over several years.<\/span> Since 2021, we have been purposefully following this path<\/span>, together with partners,<\/span> creating and forming the UNINOVIS alliance.<\/span> It is obvious that<\/span> the approval of this <\/span>alliance’s<\/span> application makes a significant contribution to the implementation of Kauno kolegija <\/span>HEI’s<\/span> vision and related strategic goals, fostering academic and scientific <\/span>culture,<\/span> and developing studies and science in an international environment,<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

The desire to connect is consistent and deliberate<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kauno kolegija HEI Vice Director for Organisational Development Dr Inga Stravinskien\u0117 reveals that the UNINOVIS alliance application <\/span>was assessed<\/span> by European Commission experts as <\/span>being of<\/span> extremely high quality and scored as many as 94 points out of 100. <\/span>Such an assessment,<\/span> according to her, demonstrates the strong cooperative ties of the alliance partners and the targeted results they <\/span>are seeking<\/span> in the international space.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018I<\/span>t is important to mention that the latest achievement is not accidental. This network of partners has been forming for almost three years: joint international projects were prepared and won, student and lecturer exchanges took place, joint scientific applied research, transfer of good practices and other initiatives were carried out. We created a lot, we believed in what we were creating, and finally <\/span>\u2013 this<\/span> significant assessment!<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>recalls Dr I. Stravinskien\u0117 and is happy that extremely warm, trust-based cooperative relations have <\/span>been established<\/span> between the partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>alliance<\/span> is formed from applied sciences and classical (academic) universities, bringing together <\/span>a particularly large<\/span> community: 125 thousand students, 11 thousand employees and 57 associated and social partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr I. Stravinskien\u0117 reminds that in four <\/span>years<\/span> Kauno kolegija HEI\u00a0 will apply for the status of a university of applied sciences, and the fact that it belongs to the UNINOVIS alliance will significantly contribute to achieving this status.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018T<\/span>he long-term strategy of this <\/span>alliance<\/span> integrates studies and applied data science, focusing on research and innovation. All activities envisaged in this project will significantly contribute to Kauno kolegija <\/span>HEI\u2019s<\/span> achievement of the status of a university of applied sciences, based on the values \u200b\u200band requirements of the European higher education area and the European research area, sustainability goals, green and digital transformation,<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>shares Dr I. Stravinskien\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

Value for studies and the academic community<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The partnership with the alliance members, which has <\/span>been established<\/span> over the past few years, is now intensifying even more, focusing on the implementation of the goals of the UNINOVIS alliance, which ensures the <\/span>wider<\/span> use of data science in all academic fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

The leaders of Kauno kolegija HEI emphasise that the approval of the alliance application also means greater responsibility not only in implementing the goals and objectives set out in the application but also in a long-term partnership agreement to cooperate to become a European university.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018T<\/span>his alliance is unique due to the large number of associated partners, including regional government organisations, business associations, companies, student self-government organisations, and higher education institutions in other regions of the world,<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>adds Jolanta Valiaugien\u0117, <\/span>Coordinator<\/span> of International Partnership Development at Kauno kolegija HEI.<\/span><\/p>\n

The agreement of the heads of the higher education institutions belonging to the <\/span>alliance<\/span> to cooperate by pooling academic, scientific, human and infrastructure resources <\/span>significantly<\/span> strengthens the capacities of all alliance members in completing <\/span>academic<\/span> programmes, expanding research opportunities and creating conditions for new student experiences. Meanwhile, joint activities will have a positive impact on the professional development of employees.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018F<\/span>or Kauno kolegija HEI to achieve the status of a university of applied sciences, the expanded and agreed cooperation opportunities in scientific research, combining the resources and expertise of all partners, are particularly relevant. Winning the European Universities Initiative project has created greater opportunities for financing research, i.e. greater opportunities to receive European research funding and grants for the <\/span>activities of the <\/span>alliance<\/span>,<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>says J. Valiaugien\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

The leaders of Kauno kolegija HEI note that in implementing the lifelong learning paradigm, <\/span>studies and training services focused on the <\/span>needs of the learner<\/span> will be developed together<\/span> with partners.<\/span><\/p>\n

The higher education institutions participating in the UNINOVIS alliance have agreed to introduce innovative teaching methods and develop joint study programmes, which will open up opportunities for Kauno kolegija HEI students to study at several institutions and receive joint diplomas from these higher education institutions. Also, by pooling resources, the range of courses offered will expand by providing micro-credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project also plans to create study hubs, where students from higher education institutions participating in the UNINOVIS alliance will be able to come, acquire <\/span>certain<\/span> competencies, and <\/span>upon<\/span> returning to their country<\/span>, continue their studies remotely<\/span>.<\/span> This<\/span> will make it easier to carry out exchanges and ensure that students will gain knowledge at the <\/span>higher education institution that is strongest<\/span> in their chosen field.<\/span><\/p>\n
