Descripción del proyecto
Preparación de las ciudades para retos futuros
Más de la mitad de la población mundial vive en ciudades, pero, en ellas, abundan los problemas. Hacer que las ciudades sean inclusivas, seguras, resilientes y sostenibles es uno de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas. Esto requiere cambios profundos en la investigación relacionada y estudios y gestiones basados en el diálogo con la sociedad más allá de las fronteras físicas o de limitaciones como las especificidades de cada disciplina o país. En este contexto, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos SMART-ER desarrollará un nuevo modelo de investigación e innovación a través de una alianza de universidades para la investigación, la innovación y la educación virtuales: el ECIU University Research Institute. Este creará y validará nuevos modelos para llevar a cabo investigaciones colaborativas en un entorno virtual, así como prácticas y enfoques transformadores y novedosos.
Objetivo
The ECIU University Research Institute for Smart European Regions (SMART-ER) is a research, innovation and education alliance, enabling all member universities to jointly address complex societal challenges under the UN SDG11 (Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable).
SMART-ER, organized as a virtual research institute, designs and implements research, value-captures and delivers solutions to SDG11 challenges, identified by the ECIU University Erasmus+ project. SMART-ER, together with stakeholder groups at a local and international level, showcases and works according to a shared R&I Agenda, focused on social needs, and its implementation plan. SMART-ER will align and bring together research capacities, both scientific and management capacities, bring together researchers and share a common vision, creating a virtual research institute as an example of how to overcome the limits of each single institution.
It means, in fact, to implement a new model of doing research and innovation without walls, because:
• is a way to leave behind the ivory tower, promoting dialogue with society
• it will overcome the limitations of disciplines, sectors and countries
• it will be mainly based on setting a virtual collaborative environment
All partners will join efforts to develop and test transformative approaches focused on R&I that are so needed:
• Mapping relevant information regarding ECIU University resources and infrastructures, practices and actors needed to move to the second phase
• Developing the internal plans, procedures, training contents and platforms that will allow the creation and the operability of the SMART-ER
• A capacity building programme (Seed Programme and SMART-ER Academy) and citizen science initiatives that will be used as a testbed to put into practice all built mechanisms and structures
• Validating the pilots and procedures
• Producing guidelines and toolkits for tested models replication and practices of reference
