Project description
A boost for brain research and technologies
Neuroscience has a key role in addressing many of today’s challenges, and brain-centred solutions can benefit society and even spark a new economy in Europe. Pooling the educational and training capacity of eight universities in Europe, the European University of Brain and Technology (NeurotechEU) aims to educate and train the next generation of scientists and scholars. Under the EU-funded NeurotechRI project, the focus will also be on the sharing of infrastructure and resources. Specifically, the project will implement a novel governance organisation for multi-institutional, international and intersectoral research collaboration and innovation. It will also develop joint structures with external stakeholders and foster academia business cooperation. The goal is to support a balanced circulation of knowledge.
Objective
Neurotech Research and Innovation (NeurotechRI) brings together eight research-intensive universities in Europe to transform cooperation in research and innovation in the European University for Brain and Technology (NeurotechEU). We propose an actionable and sustainable plan to develop a pan European, inter-institutional and inter-sectoral strategy to help Europe realize its full potential in the global knowledge economy. Pushing the boundaries of fundamental research and applied science will mobilize innovation ecosystems, including the NeurotechEU ecosystem we are forming while actively engaging citizens to transform how we innovate, educate and impact the society at large. Our primary objectives for the next three years are:
1. Formation and implementation of a scalable and modular governance organization for multi-institutional, international and intersectoral research collaboration and cooperative innovation.
2. Creation of an integrated, long-term and sustainable RI strategy for systemic impact.
3. Formulating an action plan for sharing resources to foster scientific cooperation and innovation cooperation regardless of borders.
4. Development of joint structures with external stakeholders in order to foster (RI) collaboration with other European Universities Alliances and universities in Europe.
5. Fostering academia business cooperation to facilitate professionalization among researchers and enhance innovation capacity.
6. Supporting a balanced circulation of knowledge and researchers to counteract the brain drain.
7. Fostering diversity, gender equality and inclusiveness in research and innovation for the equitable workforce and sustainable growth.
8. Mainstreaming Open practices in education, research and innovation.
9. Engagement of citizen, civil society and public authorities in research and innovation.
10. Promotion of fair and transparent practices to help the Alliance to achieve all of its goals.
