Download our free publication and discover 10 tips for building a stronger academic community!
The present HintBook stands as the final outcome of the UNICOMM Project. It consolidates the key findings and conclusions developed by the consortium throughout the course of the Project. The main objective of this publication is to offer guidelines and solutions for the development and enhancement of university communities in the context of uncertain times and rapid changes.
The hints presented here are meant to be flexible yet reliable for European HEIs, taking into account the diversity of organisational structures, cultures, and various modes of teaching and learning. Special attention is given to student groups with fewer opportunities to engage in community life outside the regular study program, such as international students and working students.
This HintBook is neither a checklist nor an academic publication; it is a source of inspiration, from which anyone can take what they currently need or what they can realistically implement at their institution. The purpose of the publication is to serve the practical and meaningful strengthening of academic communities where everyone feels heard, seen, and valued.
You can read our publication in English, Polish, French, German or Czech.
