Descrizione del progetto
Un programma comune e radicale per ricerca e innovazione responsabili
Il progetto Erasmus+ CHARM-EU, avviato nel 2019 per migliorare la mobilità di studenti e personale nonché il livello di qualità, inclusività e competitività dell’istruzione superiore, ambisce all’affermarsi di università guidate dalle sfide che condividono i valori e gli obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile europei. Il progetto TORCH, finanziato dall’UE, si basa sulla dimensione di ricerca e innovazione di CHARM-EU tramite la realizzazione di un programma comune di ricerca e innovazione incentrato sull’accelerazione di processi di cambiamento istituzionale, migliorando la parità di genere nelle politiche in materia di ricerca e innovazione e sostenendo la scienza dei cittadini attraverso tre aree tematiche principali: prodotti alimentari, acqua, vita e salute; biodiversità, ambiente, cambiamenti climatici; (dis)uguaglianza, crescita economica e governance. Il progetto si occupa di ricerca e innovazione responsabili e dei principi della scienza aperta, favorendo approcci transdisciplinari e interculturali tramite la cooperazione e l’interazione con altri settori.
Obiettivo
European Universities need to strategically rethink and contribute to define the role of Europe in the 21st century when the Planet faces unprecedented global challenges. Our future depends on our capacity to Reconcile Humanity with the Planet and, for this, we need a transformative European research and educational experience. The future CHARM-EU R&I dimension will promote a challenge-driven transformative agenda with a transdisciplinary and intercultural vision laying its foundation in 3 cross cutting principles of Responsible R&I: Interdisciplinarity/Transdisciplinarity, Gendered innovation, and Ethics and Integrity; and on 4 transformational modules: establishing a common R&I agenda and action plan; reinforcing cooperation with non-academic actors; mainstreaming of comprehensive Open Science practices; and involvement of citizens, civil society and public/cities authorities in R&I.
The TORCH project will help CHARM-EU to become a complete European University by enhancing the academic and research networks already started with the Erasmus+ Project. The TORCH proposal will drive impact at three different levels: alliance level, institutional level and societal level, with priorities in accelerating and catalysing processes of institutional change, in stepping up the support to Gender Equality in R&I policy and in exploring and supporting citizen science.
The future R&I dimension, based in three interconnected stages, represents three open questions: What, How and With Whom. The What focus on the challenges at which CHARM-EU will drive its efforts. Three thematic areas, related with the SDGs, have been proposed as a start aligned with the learning areas identified for the CHARM-EU pilot. The How is the approach to these challenges, CHARM-EU will build its R&I upon the principles of Responsible Research and Innovation and Open Science. Finally, the With Whom will foster transdisciplinary and interculturality through Cooperation and Engagement with other sectors.
