Purpose of this Call

UNIC invites applications for the UNIC HEI Award, which recognizes notable contributions to teaching, research, and dissemination of superdiversity and inclusion through specific courses offered by its partner universities. This award aims to honor an innovative and impactful course that sets a high standard for inclusive higher education and serves as a platform for sharing these achievements within the UNIC community and beyond. As part of this initiative, a digital badge will be awarded annually to a course that demonstrates excellence in fostering superdiversity and inclusion.

Who can apply?

The call is open to all staff members of all ten UNIC universities (part- and full-time professors, educators, lecturers etc.) teaching the course in question.

All faculties of UNIC universities and all topics and disciplines within the field of diversity and inclusion are welcome.

Please note that courses that have already received a UNIC HEI Award in previous rounds are not eligible to apply again.

Please visit the UNIC website for further details of the call and for the application form.
