Planning the Future of Research & Innovation in the European University Alliance UNITE!

Descripción del proyecto

Llevar la cooperación institucional al siguiente nivel

Unite!, que se extiende desde Finlandia hasta Portugal y se centra en la innovación, la tecnología y la ingeniería, es una alianza de Universidades Europeas con siete socios que nació en 2019 en el marco de Erasmus+ con el objetivo de desarrollar una estrategia conjunta a largo plazo sobre la educación. El proyecto UNITE.H2020 financiado con fondos europeos, llevará la cooperación al siguiente nivel: desarrollará una agenda 2030 común de investigación e innovación (I+i) para abordar los principales retos de la sociedad, con especial énfasis en la energía, la industria 4.0 y la inteligencia artificial. UNITE.H2020 también desarrollará políticas para fortalecer el capital humano (como nuevas iniciativas de promoción profesional) y las infraestructuras de investigación, reforzar la cooperación con agentes de I+i no académicos, popularizar las prácticas de ciencia abierta, implicar al público y colaborar con otras instituciones de educación superior y alianzas europeas.

Objetivo

UNITE! is one of the first 17 European University Alliances. Back in 2019, our 7 universities decided to take institutional cooperation to the next level by developing a long-term joint strategy for education addressing societal challenges offering inter-university ‘campus’ curricula where students, doctoral candidates, faculty and staff are mobile at all levels.
Through this UNITE!H2020 project, our Alliance looks even further and takes up the challenge launched by the EC to develop, in synergy with its education dimension, a shared, integrated, long-term research and innovation (R&I) strategy, while developing, during the 3-year of the project, several pilot initiatives in the field of Energy - with special reference to the Green Deal - and Industry 4.0.
UNITE! universities are highly ranked in their shared focus areas - STEM, architecture and design, and all belong to the CLUSTER university network, which boasts three decades of close cooperation among its members. This gives us a position of strength in assuring tangible progress towards our institutional transformation and the identification of successful models for the modernization of R&I.
To do so, UNITE!H2020 will:
a) develop a common R&I 2030 agenda, emphasizing our common DNA and shared vocation to address major societal challenges;
b) develop policies to strengthen our R&I human capital by, e.g. new career development initiatives;
c) develop policies to share our research infrastructures (RIs) supported by, e.g. experimental tests of previously developed guidelines on a selection of Energy RIs;
d) reinforce cooperation with non-academic R&I players by, e.g. developing a network of Grant Offices & TTOs;
e) mainstream our comprehensive Open Science practices based on, e.g. a detailed experimental analysis on the approach of our R&I groups to OS;
f) involve citizens, civil society and public authorities in R&I;
g) develop relations with other Alliances for joint synergies/complementarities.
