Aiming to improve the university-enterprise collaboration in the participating EU and non-EU countries, the UniLab project (coordinated by eucen) is now in its final stage. Across several face-to-face and online study visits, activities, workshops and meetings, the UniLab consortium, consisting of three EU universities – UPF Barcelona School of Management (ES), IMC Krems (AT), Universite de Lille (FR) – and four non-EU universities – Khazar University (AZ), Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (AZ), Gomel State University (BY) and Mogilev State University (BY), has succeeded in developing an online student portal to connect students with employers, and a range of extra-curricular activities to improve students’ employability and work-preparedness.

The final study visit took place earlier this month at the UPF Barcelona School of Management. Participants worked together to finalise the models and tools which will underpin the Work-Based Learning practices at the partner institutions and beyond. For this, EU and non-EU partners engaged in peer learning, identifying the most important areas for improvement and development. The UniLab project will end in January 2023 – make sure to check out all the project outputs on the UniLab website!
