European University for Well-Being - Research

Project description

An action-oriented research-grounded response to well-being

Health, individual and social well-being, environment and urbanity, and teacher education are the four research areas identified as priorities by the European University for Well-Being (EUniWell). An ambitious alliance of seven universities from across Europe, EUniWell was formed in response to the Council of the European Union’s invitation for Member States to pursue a knowledge-based approach to advance the ‘Economy of Well-Being’. The EU-funded EUniWell Research project will create the conditions for a coordinated EUniWell research-education-innovation agenda to boost sustainable development, digital and green transitions, social well-being and civic engagement, research transfer and open science approaches as well as research-based educational programmes. It will provide transversal career support and 21st-century skills trainings for researchers.

Objective

"EUniWell’s mission is to contribute to the well-being of society, the planet and of the academic community - by steering research, innovation and education programmes towards contemporary societal challenges. During the preparation of the 2nd EUniWell E+ proposal, EUniWell has update its research priority areas, which provide the agenda of our 5 Research Arenas:
• Health and Well-being
• Social Equality and Well-being
• Environmental Change and Well-being
• Well-being in Teaching Future Generations
• Culture, Multilingualism and Well-being.
EUniWell#research:
• sets up the conditions for a coordinated EUniWell research agenda, creating both the leadership and the digital collaborative working conditions and infrastructures for research on the promotion of well-being. Expert focus groups feed this strategy, and the Well-Being Incubator is set up to catalyse joint inter-/transdisciplinary research solutions to the complex well-being challenges .
• taps into the potential created by the new, European scale of action to accelerate the digital and green transitions and the implementation of Open Science approaches with respect to FAIR data, digital method and infrastructure sharing. Because Open Science is about the science-society interface, we will provide specific training modules to our staff so that outreach beyond academia is a natural part of their research activity.
• caters for the need of transversal career support for researchers, also with two key moments in mind: the early-career stage and then access to leadership roles. The EUniWell Skills Taxonomy ensures that the skills we develop are aligned with our well-being agenda and also the needs from our external partners. The EUniWell Research Training Academy promotes transversal skills as crucial elements of a balanced career development, fostering well-being among our staff."
