UNIG (UNIversity Galleries) is a platform where university museums and galleries meet their audience and vice versa.
UNIG is a space for research, sharing knowledge and experience, and discovering the importance of university museums. Its main goal is to create a shared platform for (not only) staff from university galleries and museums to get inspired within the field of audience engagement and community development.
It is also a potential network for university art and design galleries in Europe. The international network is a welcome help not only for the mutual communication of university galleries, but it also serves tourists, schools and other cultural subjects to be informed about the possibilities to visit university galleries and follow their activities
