Bringing Excellence to Transformative Socially Engaged Research in Life Sciences through Integrated Digital Centers

Descripción del proyecto

Formación de investigadores socialmente comprometidos en ciencias de la vida

Existe una falta de colaboración entre los investigadores noveles y los sectores de fuera de la comunidad universitaria e investigadora. Sin embargo, las estructuras de apoyo interinstitucional pueden invertir esta tendencia con nuevas normas y condiciones marco. En este contexto, el proyecto BETTER Life, financiado con fondos europeos, apoyará el desarrollo de capacidades interinstitucionales mediante la creación de un centro de coordinación de BETTER Life de la Unión Europea. El objetivo será generar herramientas y normas transferibles y fomentar el compromiso social de los investigadores en ciencias de la vida. El equipo del proyecto también pretende crear centros locales guiados por un marco para seguir la implantación de la personalización regional. En BETTER Life se formará a más de doscientos investigadores noveles y, al menos, catorce gestores de capacidades, y se organizará una gran cantidad de eventos de consulta y formación.

Objetivo

The project “Bringing Excellence to Transformative Engaged Research in Life Sciences through Integrated Digital Centres - BETTER Life” will establish a European Digital Centre of Excellence for fostering Socially Engaged Research (SER) in Life Sciences, as well as seven regional centres operating in their surrounding ecosystems.
This inter-institutional support structure addresses the lack of collaboration between early career researchers and the non-academic sectors by designing tools, standards, and framework conditions under the umbrella of the EU centre and implementing these solutions in the regional ecosystems.
The project aims to support the development of inter-institutional capacities by establishing an EU BETTER Life coordination centre that will generate transferable tools and standards. At an intra-institutional level, the project creates local centres guided by a framework to follow the regional customization implementation. At an individual level, the regional centres develop capacities by training early career researchers and establishing a community of practice in each surrounding ecosystem.
For that purpose, the centre is based on the quadruple helix model of innovation, where the interaction of academic, research, industry, government, and society generate mutually beneficial partnerships.
The most outstanding outcomes of the project will be:
• 200+ early career researchers trained
• 14+ engagement managers trained
• At least 10 standards for SER in Life Sciences
• 14+ consultation events with local stakeholders
• 40+ open source documents
• 6 open science publications
• 1 digital self-assessment tool for researchers
• 15+ training events
In a long term, the project will generate scientific impacts by designing transferable policies and tools, economic impacts by effectively attracting funding, and societal impacts by embedding local ecosystem needs and enhancing the real-life impact of academic institutions.
