Engaged Research and Innovation

Engaged Research and Innovation empowers researchers at all stages of their career to make a meaningful and lasting impact on society. By fostering connections and collaborations across our Alliance, we aim to bridge the gap between academia and the outside world, including industry, non-profit organisations and the public sector. Activities in this pillar are designed to foster interdisciplinary approaches and co-create solutions with non-academic partners, addressing global challenges such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as issues of local and regional importance.

To achieve these goals, ENGAGE.EU offers a number of collaborative programs and activities, including:

Collaboration on PhD courses:

• Joint PhD courses between professors from ENGAGE.EU universities

Opportunities for early-stage researchers:

• Exchange, training, and networking through workshops, research events and mobility

The digital community platform:

• Meet fellow researchers from your field, find research opportunities, exchange and start collaborating on the ENGAGE.EU Research Community Platform

The Think Tanks:

• Annual gathering of a select group of senior researchers from all partner universities to interact and initiate joint projects or publications

ENGAGE.EU Research Label seed-funding initiative:

• The ENGAGE.EU Research Label enables researchers to design, collaborate and disseminate projects within a wider university network, using a bottom-up approach

Research support and grants service:

• Support for researchers and staff members through training opportunities on topics related to data management, RRI, Open Science, ethics, and grants
