Project description
Cross-sectoral collaboration and knowledge valorisation
In today’s global landscape, disparities persist between science-leading European countries and widening countries in terms of research excellence and innovation. This gap hampers the effective transition to a regenerative economy paradigm, crucial for addressing pressing environmental and societal challenges. Widening countries face limited visibility and competitiveness in the global research arena, hindering their ability to contribute meaningfully to these transitions. In this context, the EU-funded CROSS-REIS project aims to bridge this gap. It will unite higher education and research institutions across nine European countries to foster innovation, knowledge exchange, and sustainable development. It also promotes gender equality, diversity, and inclusiveness while accelerating society’s green and digital transitions. This initiative empowers universities as agents of change.
Objective
The project aims to raise excellence in science and value creation through deeper and geographically inclusive cooperation in alliance of higher education and research institutions in 5 widening and 4 science-leading European countries, to support the shift towards a regenerative economy paradigm. Global competitiveness and visibility of the HE institutions in widening countries are to be improved by creating critical knowledge and research mass through cooperation with leading European research institutions in the area of the regenerative economy directly aimed towards the twin green and digital transitions. This is to be achieved through clearly defined and measurable sub-goals:
-To achieve a more balanced circulation of talents leading to a diverse and inclusive research community and innovative research outcomes, by organising exchanges, short visits and conferences participations;
-To reinforce the role of HE institutions in innovative ecosystems, by bringing additional expertise and resources by European leading research-intensive institutions to support the development of innovative ideas;
-To mainstream practices and tools for open knowledge and data sharing;
-To make progress toward reforming the research assessment system, including career assessment;
-To improve links between science and business by providing access to networks, resources and expertise to support the development of business partnerships and collaborations;
-To promote gender equality, diversity and inclusiveness;
-To accelerate society’s green and digital transition to support ERA Policy Agenda action 11;
-To encourage collaboration with third-country entities to support ERA Policy Agenda action 9.
The project contributes to the aims of empowering universities as actors of change in R&I by promoting cross-sectoral collaboration between universities and other actors in the R&I ecosystem, improving their knowledge valorisation capabilities and contributing to raising excellence in science.
