European university of technology - Experimentation to Transform Research Activities and Steering

Project description

An innovative methodology for research

The EU industry needs institutional transformation integrating the challenges of European technology development. The EU-funded EUt EXTRAS project will support the emergence of intercampus knowledge-creating groups across institutions, disciplines and types of activities around an innovative approach to the environment and steering and performance of research. It will use this as a test bed to establish a roadmap for research and innovation at EUt EXTRAS level by 2030 to validate a solid methodology of institutional transformation. The project will also co-construct pilot experimentation to attain a flexible, decentralised and collaborative critical mass in research that will support the institutional transformation required for the European industrial renewal opening new career opportunities.

Objective

The ambition of EUt+ project EXperimentation to Transform Research Activities and Steering (EUt EXTRAS) is to support the emergence of intercampus knowledge-creating teams across our institutions, across disciplines, and across types of activities, towards a new approach of the environment and of steering and execution of research. It will be a test bed to establish a common roadmap for research and innovation at the EUt+ level by 2030 to validate a solid methodology of institutional transformation fully integrating the challenges of European technology development. We want to co-construct a pilot experimentation to achieve a critical mass in research that is flexible, decentralised and collaborative, to support the institutional transformation necessary for Europe’s industrial renewal. This entails opening up new career opportunities for the fluidity of ideas and knowledge (both within the university and with the private sector, and the other way around), and avoiding the brain drain often associated with such endeavors. Since its beginnings, EUt+ has emphasized the importance of involving the local communities: universities of Technology should have a direct impact on local economic structures by providing educational opportunities to underrepresented groups, and know-how to local companies. We will develop human capital to steer Europe towards a new path of excellence, do science and create technology with and for society, connect technological research with its peripheral environment, conduct series of internal and external analyses for an informed decision-making, create commons in terms of resources and infrastructure, and - importantly - develop, document, and disseminate an assessment methodology with a strong participatory and bottom-up approach. As the EUt+ motto reminds us, we always Think Human First.
