Invest for Excellence in Regional Sustainability

Project description

An integrated strategy for regional sustainable development

The INVEST EU University Alliance of five European universities focuses on sustainable development. The EU-funded INVEST4EXCELLENCE project will develop an integrated and long term joint strategy for research and innovation (R&I) in line with the education strategies of the Alliance. It will create the background for the development and implementation of R&I ideas developing a model for institutional transformation, the European Innovation Ecosystem for Academia-Business & Society, Capacity Building Tools, and implementing and promoting the I-EDUC8EU tool. The project will engage regional actors as a precondition for performing the research and bringing innovation into the regions and deliver several key enabling technologies to optimise the R&I aspects promoted by the Alliance.

Objective

INVEST4EXCELLENCE aims at developing an integrated and long-term joint strategy on research and innovation in line with the education strategies from the INVEST EU University Alliance. The thematic focus of the INVEST Alliance is in Sustainable development as one of the most important global challenges. INVEST4EXCELLENCE will create the background for the development and implementation of research and innovation ideas through developing of Model for institutional transformation at research and innovation dimension; developing of European Innovation Ecosystem for Academia-Business & Society; developing of Capacity Building Tools; and implementing and promoting the I-EDUC8EU tool. Involving and engaging the main actors in the regions – civil society, local citizens, local enterprises, public authorities, education institutions (including an academic sector) and NGOs, will be the basic precondition for conducting the research and bringing the innovation into regions. Considering the importance of such stakeholders´ engagement, dedicated involvement tool describing the process and methods of thematic dialogue and promotion of innovations will be developed. This will lead to reinforcement of human resources in the research and innovation of the INVEST Alliance contributing to achieving the knowledge-based civic society, engaged in creation and benefitting of the high quality research and innovation outputs. Project comes with several key enabling educational and digital technologies that can optimize all research and innovation aspects promoted by the INVEST Alliance. Project will influence the interactions between institutional adaptation and the transformation of research and innovation systems by analysing change and adjustment within the whole alliance. INVEST4EXCELLENCE brings together a large European educational community that will actively cooperate and maximize the learning impact of the project.
