Project description
Boosting talent flow for a greener Europe
Europe’s drive towards a sustainable, circular economy could falter without stronger collaboration and easier movement for researchers. Talent Pass consortium has a geographical diversity that ensures a comprehensive approach to R&I, blending different levels of expertise, building critical mass of skilled professionals equipped to turn research into real-world solutions, creating rich environment for collaboration across various backgrounds. The EU-funded Talent Pass project focuses on strengthening R&I capabilities of widening countries institutions, ensuring they are on par with leading European entities. This will be achieved through strategic use of research resources (human, know-how, infrastructure) to foster capacity-building initiatives, targeted training, secondment programmes addressing current and future challenges in circular economy. This ensures that no region is left behind in Europe’s green transition.
Objective
The Talent Pass initiative is designed to:
- strengthen the innovation ecosystem towards a borderless research, innovation (R&I) and technology market by addressing the critical need for geographically balanced talent circulation and increased cross-sectorial interoperability, as outlined in Action 4 of the ERA Policy Agenda (2022-2024);
- cultivate and support cross-sectorial partnerships between academic and non-academic organizations that operate in areas of proven scientific excellence, particularly within the realm of the circular economy.
The Talent Pass project aims to:
- significantly enhance talent mobility and expertise development within circular economy, particularly focusing on researchers, innovators, and other R&I academic/non-academic talents from widening countries;
- build a critical mass of competent researchers having the necessary high-quality knowledge, skills, and tools to drive forward innovation and sustainability in the circular economy;
- improving access to excellence by consolidating an interdisciplinary network of highly skilled human resources and enhance the efficient utilization and valorization of complementary research capacities, infrastructure and results, aligning with the Horizon Europe Work Program (2023-24) - WIDERA and the Circular Economy Action Plan for a Cleaner and More Competitive Europe (2020);
- bridge the gap between research and application and effectively translate advancements in circular economy into real-world solutions, by fostering collaboration between academia and industry.
Talent Pass will subsequently focus on strengthening the research capabilities of WC institutions, ensuring they are on par with leading European entities. This will be achieved through strategic use of research resources (human, know-how and infrastructure) to foster capacity-building initiatives and targeted training and secondment programs addressing current and future challenges in circular economy.
