· To encourage international network cooperation between institutions, especially European, profit, and non-profit institutions that require support for the digitalisation of their activities.
· To provide support services for the network members, associates, and stakeholders.

Moreover, EUNIK aims to contribute to the EU and the Erasmus+ Scheme by supporting public and private bodies with their specific needs on knowledge management, eLearning and online education programmes’ implementation, and the digital transformation that will lead the EU to the next generation. There are thousands of organisations making great contributions to the EU strategy and its programmes, putting hands-on problem-solving and making relevant contributions to the cultural and scientific communities. But sometimes, the visibility and impact of these works, because of their traditional methodologies the impact do not reach their maximum.
