Project description
Building alliances for research and innovation
Coordination, cooperation and collaboration is the aim of the EU-funded T4ERI project which will bring together universities from around Europe to conduct joint scientific research. Participating universities will have the opportunity to capitalise on a multi-actor knowledge and innovation ecosystem to transform their achievements in research and innovation. The project will develop a joint agenda for research and innovation, a strategy for attracting and retaining outstanding researchers, and a roadmap to open science to all members of the ecosystem. This increased collaboration in research and innovation across all disciplines is expected to result in joint action plans to launch major joint research centres. Another important goal is to foster engagement and involvement of civil society in research and innovation.
Objective
Transform4Europe (T4E) is a university alliance of proven excellence in strategic collaboration. It has been awarded European funding to pursue joint strategies in education and mobility, focussing on collaboration between the universities and a wealth of non-university stakeholders from the surrounding regions in a multi-actor knowledge and innovation ecosystem. For the T4E universities, the logical next step is to capitalise on this ecosystem to transform their achievements in research and innovation. Together, the diverse actors in the T4E ecosystem can serve as powerful engines for the mutual development of innovation and performance capacities, jointly fostering both research of excellence and impact, and smarter, sustainable, competitive regions.
Transform 4 European Research and Innovation (T4ERI) will devise new strategies to harness this untapped potential, with the focus mission digital and environmental transformation for smart, sustainable and inclusive regions. It will develop a joint agenda for research and innovation, a joint strategy for attracting and retaining outstanding researchers, and a joint strategy to open science to all members of the T4E ecosystem. True to the essence of the alliance, T4ERI will systematically collaborate with regional stakeholders from business and industry, culture, politics and civil society at every step of the process. By 2024, T4ERI will have significantly increased collaboration in research and innovation across all disciplines, will have enabled joint access to key research infrastructure across the alliance, and will have targeted joint action plans to launch one or more major joint research centres relating to its focus mission, to attract and retain excellent junior and established researchers, and to foster engagement and involvement of civil society in research and innovation, further paving the way towards the European University of the future.
