OpenEU welcomes UNINETTUNO as new Associated Partner

Today, the OpenEU alliance is pleased to announce the inclusion of the International Telematic University UNINETTUNO (UTIU) as a new Associated Partner, further strengthening the network of European institutions committed to advancing open and digital higher education.

Born in 1993 as a consortium of Italian public universities, big national enterprises and the Italian Ministry of Higher Education in 2005 UNINETTUNO became an independent distance university, accredited by the Italian Ministry. UNINETTUNO is an innovative institution offering accredited academic programs, including bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and doctorates. What distinguishes UNINETTUNO is its extensive experience in virtual learning, with a focus on delivering courses through its multilingual e-learning platform, with mission and values of social inclusion through access education for all.

The addition of UNINETTUNO to OpenEU brings a wealth of expertise in digital education and international academic collaboration, aligning with OpenEU’s mission to expand educational opportunities and drive digital transformation across Europe.

I’m very pleased to welcome UNINETTUNO as an Associated Partner. Its long-standing expertise in online and distance education strengthens our shared commitment to digital transformation and accessible, inclusive higher education across Europe. Welcome aboard.

Àngels Fitó. President of OpenEU and rector of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC).

I am confident that together we can contribute to enhancing, at a global level, the role of online universities, which now more than ever are able to provide concrete responses to the needs of a globalized and interconnected digital society.
