UNINOVIS – Data for L.I.F.E. (Uninovis) is the alliance of seven leading European higher education institutions, including Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution. United by a shared vision, the Uninovis alliance focuses on promoting education, research, and innovation in applied data science, with a strong commitment to serving society. Uninovis aims to be a driving force for impactful change, bringing AI, robotics and data-centric learning into European higher education while empowering students and communities to thrive in the digital age.
Launched in 2025, the Uninovis European University Alliance brings together over 125,000 students and 11,000 staff across its member institutions.
Uninovis enables Kauno kolegija students, staff and stakeholders to share knowledge and develop innovations across different sectors and national borders. Uninovis will significantly increase European cooperation in education and research. Mobility, both physical and virtual, will be more strongly supported.
After the first four-year funding period, Uninovis will seek further funding and continue to develop and expand. The current activities are therefore only the beginning of a new kind of European higher education, where learning and research are increasingly linked to technological and societal needs.
