UNICollaboration: cross-disciplinary professional organisation for telecollaboration and virtual exchange in Higher Education (UNICollaboration)
EU Transparency Register
461766839420-39 First registered on 04 Sep 2020
Goals / Remit
UNICollaboration is a cross-disciplinary professional organisation committed to promoting the development and integration of VE across ALL disciplines and interest areas in formal and non-formal educational settings, including Higher Education.
A small group of interested academics launched this non-for-profit at the Second Conference on Telecollaboration in Higher Education at Trinity College, Dublin in April 2016.
Our two main objectives are:
1. To promote the development and integration of research and practice in telecollaboration and virtual exchange. We aim to enable this across all disciplines and subject areas in higher education and in formal and non-formal educational contexts
2. To actively engage in awareness raising of telecollaboration and virtual exchange at institutional and policy making level.Main EU files targeted
We are interested in participating in promoting the educational activity of 'Virtual Exchange' in European & worldwide formal and non formal educationa sectors, including Higher Education. We would therefore like to see Virtual Exchange mentioned in European educational policy documentation. To try and achieve this we publish position papers and make presentations in events where members of the European Commission may be in attendance.

IVEC: https://iveconference.org/about-ivec/
IVEC builds on the successful track records of two other well-established events. The State University of New York (SUNY) COIL Center hosted their COIL Conference from 2007 – 2018, attracting a growing number of participants from around the world. UniCollaboration, the European telecollaboration consortium, hosted a bi-annual conference since 2014, bringing together practitioners from across the continent.
As the field of Virtual Exchange grows, a small group of institutional representatives began talking about the possibility of a single, annual international conference that would become the premiere gathering for the field. The first such attempt was the Global Learning conference in 2017, hosted by DePaul University in Chicago, in partnership with the SUNY COIL Center. IVEC builds on the Chicago conference with an expanded group of organizing institutions and a new name and identity.
We are also currently partnering with COIL Connect https://coilconnect.org/ for the purpose of mutual dissemination of activitiesMember organisations
