Project description
Advancing economics and business research and innovation
Business and economics research plays a crucial role in enhancing our comprehension of evolving economic conditions and their impacts and in foreseeing future disasters or crises. Meeting the demands of researchers and specialists necessitates enhanced funding, as well as advancements in research and innovation within universities focusing on economics and business. In this context, the EU-funded RIS4SEB project aims to collaborate with the Pathways to Synergies initiative and various European universities, which have previously engaged in EU project cooperation, to assist them in charting a course towards participation in Horizon Europe. To achieve this, the project will devise three strategies aimed at bolstering research and innovation, fostering synergies with Horizon Europe, and nurturing human resources.
Objective
ENHANCING R&I SYNERGIES FOR SCHOOLS OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS project, or RIS4SEB, is a proposal for the Pathways to synergies call, selecting the a) Upstream synergy mode (focusing on HR development and internalization).
The RIS4SEB project creates a synergy for the widening project partners (Prague University of Economics and Business, Kaunas University of Technology, and Estonian Business School) who were previously successful in obtaining ERDF, Interreg, or similar indirect EU projects in cooperation with a highly experienced non-widening partner, the Bocconi University, building a pathway towards increased success in international research projects such as within the Horizon Europe (HE) programme. To this end, based on an analysis of widening countries low integration into ERA, the consortium chooses to focus on the research areas of economics and business, with the project partners all being either economics and business universities or schools / faculties.
The project overall objective is to design and pilot three strategies aiming at enabling and facilitating effective synergies between Horizon Europe and other national/regional funds, by strengthening Internationalization of R&I widening actors, developing Human Resources, and improving Research management capacity and overall competitiveness of the widening partners. RIS4SEB will achieve this objective via supplementary capacity-building activities, such as networks, infrastructures, upskilling of research managers and researchers and research proposal pipelines and clinics, resulting in submitting of at least 4 HE projects.
