EU-CONEXUS RESEARCH FOR SOCIETY

Project description

DEENESFRITPL

Promoting joint research infrastructures and resources

The European University for Smart Urban Coastal Sustainablity – EU-CONEXUS, coordinated by La Rochelle University – was created in response to an Erasmus+ call inviting European universities to create transnational alliances. The aim of the European Commission initiative is to strengthen strategic university partnerships across Europe and develop the international competitiveness of European universities. The main goal of EU-CONEXUS is to implement a brand-new model of a European inter-university campus. The EU-funded EU-CONEXUS-RFS project aims at creating a joint transnational science and innovation agenda. It will contribute to more comprehensive and socially responsible human resources management, explore joint research infrastructures and resources, and develop an innovation management strategy as well as methods of open and participatory science.

Objective

EU-CONEXUS-RESEARCH FOR SOCIETY is an ambitious 3-years project aiming at the strengthening, modernisation and the internationalisation of the research dimension of the European University for Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability (EU-CONEXUS) and the corresponding institutional transformation for its six partner universities: La Rochelle Université (FR), Agricultural University of Athens (EL), Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest (RO), Klaipeda University (LT), Universidad Catolica De Valencia (ES), University of Zadar (HR). EU-CONEXUS has chosen a thematic focus for its transnational inter-university campus that is constructed around education and research on Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability (SUCS). EU-CONEXUS RESEARCH FOR SOCIETY perfectly completes the ongoing activities of the European University that are financed under the Erasmus+ programme which is more focused on the higher education dimension of a university.
The project will show how to develop a joint science and innovation agenda within a transnational research and funding environment and aims at establishing the research focus SUCS on the European and international level. It will contribute to a more comprehensive and socially responsible management system for researchers and other staff contributing to research activities. Joint research infrastructures and resources will be explored, and a common access policy will lead to a more efficient management of these assets. An innovation management strategy will open up new ways of interaction with the innovation eco-system and establish an entrepreneurial mind-set within the researcher community. Finally, methods of open and participatory science will nurture more responsive research practices. During the project implementation EU-CONEXUS-RESEARCH FOR SOCIETY will cooperate with other European University alliances in order to share experiences, knowledges in order to allow a better functioning of European Universities.
