Description du projet
Des voies innovantes pour s’attaquer aux défis EPI
L’alliance universitaire européenne EPICUR (pour «European Partnership for an Innovative Campus Unifying Regions») construira une société européenne en transition pour développer des formats d’enseignement et d’apprentissage collaboratifs inter et transdisciplinaires. Le projet EPICUR-Research, financé par l’UE, élargit les domaines d’intérêt de l’alliance à la recherche, à l’innovation et à l’interaction avec la société. Il développe un agenda de recherche commun pour traiter des difficultés urgentes en matière de recherche comme la durabilité, la mobilité, l’émigration, l’identité et la transition du système de santé publique, généralement dénommées défis EPI. Le projet s’adresse principalement aux chercheurs en début de carrière et les invite à co-créer la nouvelle communauté EPI en ligne qui proposera des outils pour accroître la visibilité des exploits scientifiques. Le projet les encourage à former et à rejoindre des groupes EPI interdisciplinaires pour répondre aux défis EPI aux côtés de partenaires extérieurs à l’université, en garantissant une vision transdisciplinaire des activités de recherche.
Objectif
EPICUR, the European Partnership for an Innovative Campus Unifying Regions, is a first-generation European University Alliance, dedicated to shaping European Society in Transition through the development of collaborative inter- and transdisciplinary teaching and learning. Now that the alliance seeks funding to establish its complementary research agenda, EPICUR expands its breadth to include research, innovation and interaction with society, and will be addressing all four corners of the European knowledge square. EPICUR is convinced that future EPICUR research can make a difference in the following ways:
As our alliance believes that international collaboration fosters scientific and societal progress, EPICUR will develop a joint research agenda and deploy an inter- and transdisciplinary approach to tackle pressing research questions, which we call EPIChallenges (WP1).
EPICUR identified early career researchers as the primary target group to experiment with new formats for virtual networking and shaping their academic careers. They will be invited to co-create the EPICommunity, a new social media network based on an attractive gamification design. This network offers new tools that will help raise the visibility of scientific achievements and skill sets, as well as facilitating blended mobility (WP2).
EPICUR researchers will be encouraged to team-up in EPIClusters, experimental open research formats to tackle EPIChallenges together with partners from sectors outside academia and to pilot the sharing of the consortium's cutting-edge research infrastructures (WP3).
As proud member of the first cohort of European Universities alliances, EPICUR will build intelligent connections to our peer alliances in EPIConnect, to facilitate the preparation of joint policy recommendations for shaping the Universities of the Future.
As a result, EPICUR will contribute to the further shaping the European Universities - be EPIcurious!
