RIS4SEB Kick-off meeting
Mission
Business and economics research plays a crucial role in enhancing our comprehension of evolving economic conditions, their impacts and in foreseeing future disasters or crises. Yet, the Business and Economics field is underrepresented in HEU projects, especially regarding participants from widening countries. 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. The aim of RIS4SEB is to assist them in charting a course towards participation in Horizon Europe. Hence, 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.
About us
We are a Horizon Europe project set out to strengthen synergies between non-centrally managed programmes and centrally managed programmes. The Pathway to synergies initiative allows us to capitalize on the know-how the partners already created under the non-centrally managed programmes, such as ERDF or Interreg, and to apply this knowledge on research international programmes, such as Horizon Europe, and firmly establish ourselves on the European Research Area map.
The RIS4SEB project began on June 1, 2024, and is scheduled to run for 3 years. By the end, the project will develop policy recommendation to ensure that the gained knowledge is distributed to and openly shared with national Managing Authorities of EU / national and/or regional managing authorities to complete the synergy between the different funding programmes.
Consortium Partners
Workpackages
Objectives: to efficiently coordinate the consortium partners and manage the project implementation to achieve project objectives, to carry out project meetings and provide documentation, to monitor overall WP progress, and to ensure ethics and GDPR compliance.
The overall objective of this WP is for the widening partners to improve their integration into the European Research Area. There are three main specific objectives (SO) of WP2: SO1 to create and pilot a joint internationalization strategy for R&I, SO2 to facilitate access to networks and communities, and SO3 to pave the way to overcoming the locked in effect for former mono-beneficiaries funded under ERDF and better use of R&I infrastructure funded under ERDF.
Objectives: The overall objective of this WP is to improve HR strategy and upskill research managers. There are two main specific objectives of WP3: SO4 To develop a Human resources strategy and SO5 to train and upskill research managers.
Objectives: the overall objective of this WP is for the widening partners to increase their international competitiveness in the realm of ERA. WP4 specific objectives include SO6 to enhance institutional environment and processes through RM strategy, SO7 to produce policy recommendations for future synergies between research funding programmes, and SO8 to pilot active ability to compete on an international level.
Objectives: To disseminate the project results among researchers but also communicating the achievements to the public; to develop and continuously update the Plan for the dissemination and exploitation of results including communication activities; and to carry out the final project conference, openly sharing the gained knowledge and insight with external widening Economics and Business schools.
