EU-CONEXUS ENABLES - Promoting excellence through innovative eco-systems

Project description

An EU response to coastal challenges

Rapid urbanisation along coastlines poses multifaceted challenges, from environmental degradation to social inequality. Current approaches often lack integration and fail to address the complexity of coastal sustainability issues. Without concerted efforts, these challenges threaten ecosystems, livelihoods, and the well-being of coastal communities. In this context, the EU-funded EU-CONEXUS ENABLES project harnesses the collaborative power of its alliance within the Joint Research Area. With a focus on Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability, the project leverages the expertise of its four Joint Research Institutes and the EU-CONEXUS European University Doctoral School framework. By promoting scientific cooperation, the project fosters sustainable synergies and tackles societal needs. Through innovative Digital Twin solutions, the project fosters excellence and encourages citizen engagement in evidence-based policies.

Objective

The concept of EU-CONEXUS ENABLES is built upon the strong foundation of our Alliance within the Joint Research Area as an excellent network for cooperation between the partners with several points of gravity such as the 4 Joint Research Institutes (an outcome of H2020-SwafS project) - Coastal Engineering Institute, Environmental Sciences and Biodiversity Institute, Life Sciences and Biotechnology Institute, Social, Culture and Human Sciences Institute, and the Doctoral School framework of EU-CONEXUS European University. The project is devoted to promote scientific and academic cooperation between the members of the alliance in the same time with an effective implementation of ERA policy agenda main objectives.
Using as thematical background 4 major challenges, the project is dedicated to achieve specific objectives that are aligned with mostly all of the ERA goals. The scope of the EU-CONEXUS ENABLES project is to create the framework of an innovative ecosystem promoting sustainable synergies between the alliance and its partners such as the fellow municipalities, other stakeholders, in order to develop long term solutions for Smart Urban Coastal Sustainability challenges, based on the Digital Twin approach.
The project is focused on one hand to raise excellence in value creation through deeper and geographically inclusive cooperation, and on the other hand to the societal based topics and needs coming from our supporting ecosystems of stakeholders. The project will also offer training and capacity-building programs for researchers, promoting a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.Through hackathons, capacity building, and knowledge exchange activities, the project will engage experts, researchers, and stakeholders in the development and implementation of innovative Digital Twin solutions. Citizen engagement in participatory science activities will also be facilitated, encouraging evidence-based policies and interventions.
