WIRE - Widening Innovation+Research Excellence in FilmEU)

Project description

A culture of excellence to bridge Europe’s research gap

Europe’s research landscape faces a significant challenge with disparities in capacities among Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), particularly between widening and more research-intensive countries. This gap limits the overall competitiveness and innovation potential of the continent. In this context, the EU-funded WIRE FilmEU project aims to bolster research and innovation capacities, particularly in widening countries, through targeted reforms and capacity building efforts. By fostering inclusive cooperation and bolstering administrative competencies, WIRE aims to elevate the competitiveness of the Alliance as a whole. With an emphasis on cultural and creative industries, WIRE promotes institutional reforms, driving forward a culture of excellence and value creation in research and innovation.

Objective

WIRE is promoted by all eight HEIs currently members or soon to be members in the FilmEU Alliance. FilmEU fully represents Europe’s geographical, cultural, and linguistic differences, combined with the diversity and richness of its European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and its Research Area (ERA). WIRE integrates five out of eight academic partners each coming from widening countries, a majority of less research-intensive institutions and is led by an institution from a widening country. All WIRE activities are centered in widening countries, and it is these countries and less research-intensive HEIs that are beneficiaries of the of the project.
WIRE’s main objective is to catalyse a step change in the excellence and innovation of the science and value creation activities carried out by and across the FilmEU Alliance via its capacity building and the promotion of several reforms across the HEIs in widening countries participating in the Alliance. WIRE will capacitate the FilmEU Alliance Research and Innovation R&I dimensions, notably by focusing on management and administrative competencies, for the benefit of its members in widening countries, and through that increase the overall competitiveness of the Alliance. WIRE will achieve this through deeper and more geographically inclusive cooperation between all members of the Alliance. WIRE will contribute significantly to the expected outcomes of the call via the consolidation of an inclusive Alliance of HEIs which mostly (5 of 8) come from widening countries. Through collaboration between themselves and with other actors in local ecosystems, they will promote institutional and country-level reforms and upgrades, facilitate an embedded culture of excellence and value creation driven by artistic research, and focus on the cultural and creative industries, in view of increased competitiveness and accelerated institutional reforms in their R&I dimension.
