UNICollaboration is a cross-disciplinary professional organization that supports the development of telecollaboration and virtual exchange (VE) in higher education. One of its two main objectives is to promote the development and integration of research and practice in VE across all disciplines and subject areas in higher education. To further this goal, this research seminar aims at gathering people interested in research on VE to share and discuss their research methods and results. The 2023 research seminar follows the research workshops held in Valencia (2017) and Aix en Provence (2018).
