UNIAKTIV (Centre for Social Learning and Social Responsibility) offers services and innovations for cooperation between higher education institutions and the community. UNIAKTIV advises and supports the faculties and the university management of the UDE in particular in the conception and realisation of projects and development processes that combine research and teaching with a focus on the common good or social commitment.

UNIAKTIV's work focuses on the teaching/learning concept of service learning. In addition, UNIAKTIV tests other forms of campus-community partnerships on a project-by-project basis, such as community-based research, design thinking variants and approaches to social entrepreneurship.
