EDUC-WIDE

EDUC-WIDE

With EDUC-WIDE, we develop cooperation mechanisms within EDUC that fuel the joint and local institutional reform programmes of nine universities in the EDUC alliance. We aim to create an environment that nurtures excellence by rewarding openness, quality, impact and diversity.

EDUC-WIDE facilitates upgrading the R&I culture of the EDUC alliance to match the current priorities of the European Research Area (ERA) by:

  • emphasising Open Science as part of the R&I culture of EDUC and raising awareness in the mindset of EDUC researchers;
  • facilitating a reform of research assessment to recognise diversity and maximise the quality and impact of research;
  • opening varied career tracks to researchers and reducing inter-sectorial barriers;
  • supporting the exchange of researchers and their ideas, creating new R&I directions contributing to Green and Digital Transition in Europe, the Cancer Mission and the UN SDGs.

A special focus lies on the “Widening partners” (see below) to reduce gaps within the European Research Area. Nevertheless, EDUC-WIDE will create mutual benefits for the “Widening partners” and “Advanced partners” through talent circulation, knowledge transfer, and the introduction of advanced R&I practice and policies across the EDUC Alliance.
