Objective 1:

Co-create a common strategy and agenda that unlocks our potential for excellence in Research and Innovation, to accelerate the transformation into a multi-institutional European Research and Innovation Centre for Smart and Sustainable Regions;

Objective 2:

Develop best practices and a strategy for pooling research infrastructures, expertise, data and resources and for collaborating with/getting access to other strategic research infrastructures;

Objective 3:

Develop structured support programmes aimed at empowering our scientific communities to fully embrace Open Science (OS), Open Innovation (OI), Open Education (OE), Engaged Science and Engaged Education; 

Objective 4:

Work to achieve a level playing field in terms of institutional strategies and policies for Human Resources for Research, from which we will be able to address bigger challenges, such as brain mobility, new career assessments and joint recruitment strategies;

Objective 5:

Develop a structured and integrated framework to seamlessly link all our R&I ecosystems and the E3UDRES2 alliance’s knowledge triangle of education, research and innovation;

Objective 6:

Along our pathway to build a common R&I agenda, be connected and dialogue with peer Alliances and HEIs, HEI associations and advocacy groups, and policy-makers with a view to contribute with evidence based results to the co-creation of future EEA/ERA (European Education Area/European research area) work programmes and to inform better policies.

In line with its vision, mission, core values, culture and principles, the E³UDRES² Ent-r-e-novators project aims to co-create a more specific joint research and innovation strategy and a common agenda to accelerate the transformation into a European multi-institutional Research and Innovation Hub for Smart and Sustainable Regions.

The project, that started at October 2022, is funded by the European Commission and managed by European Research Executive Agency (REA), through the Horizon Europe programme, within the framework of its pillar on scientific excellence (call HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ACCESS-05), which aims to strengthen the research and innovation capacity of higher education institutions, countries and their ecosystems.

E³UDRES² Ent-r-e-novators includes, interacts and collaborates with a diverse variety of smart and ambitious people, academic institutions, regional authorities, companies, European research and innovation (R&I) networks and regional innovation ecosystems. E³UDRES² Ent-r-e-novators is committed to scientific excellence and research integrity within its cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral key R&I networks and promotes (future) R&I competences, skills, resources, methods, training, services and management for collaborative research and open innovation for smart and sustainable regions.

In the project 36 months of work, E³UDRES² Ent-r-e-Novators proposes to carry out a diagnosis of the existing heritage in this part of the European territory in terms of research and innovation, focusing on fundamental areas such as infrastructure, equipment and human resources, activities, RD&I lines, groups and networks, as well as Open Science policies and practices and engagement with society.
