Description du projet
Préparer les villes aux défis à venir
Plus de moitié de la population mondiale vit en ville. Mais les problèmes sont monnaie courante dans les zones urbaines. Concevoir des villes inclusives, sûres, résilientes et durables est l’un des objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies. Cela requiert des changements profonds au niveau de la recherche, des études et de la gestion associés et basés sur le dialogue avec la société, au-delà des frontières physiques traditionnelles ou des limites comme des spécificités de pays ou de discipline. Dans ce contexte, le projet SMART-ER, financé par l’UE, développera un nouveau modèle de recherche et d’innovation par à travers une alliance d’universités en matière de recherche, d’innovation et d’éducation virtuelles: le Consortium d’universités européennes innovantes (ECIU pour «European Consortium of Innovative Universities»). Il créera et validera de nouveaux modèles pour réaliser une recherche collaborative dans un environnement virtuel ainsi que des nouvelles approches et pratiques transformatives.
Objectif
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
