What is UNIV?

UNIV is an annual research study conducted by the Istituto per la Cooperazione Universitaria (ICU) on current issues affecting human development where university students could play a decisive role.

UNIV stands for Universality, with the participants coming from a broad variety of countries and cultural backgrounds. Over the years, UNIV assemblies have become a real experience in sharing, on the basis of friendship, mutual respect and trust, and love for freedom. This is the main part of the UNIV idea: to awaken university minds to the challenge of service that the world offers to those who have developed an open and universal spirit.

The aim of UNIV is to encourage an incisive and profound reflection on key issues, which will make students realize their role in society.

Students may conduct an UNIV research in the form of a paper, poster, or video.

The study culminates in an INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS held in Rome towards the end of the school term. About 4,000 university students and professors attend this congress from Europe, the United States, Canada, Africa, Latin America and Asia.

In Cebu City, Banilad Study Center coordinates the UNIV Local Congress for the Visayas and Mindanao. For more information, contact tel. nos. (032) 232-5346 or (032) 232-2390, mobile no. +639167107013, or email jaaraf@yahoo.com.
