			\| [[File:Information icon.svg\|25px]] '''UNITA Research & Innovation Strategy:''' This document outlines the roadmap to transition from R&I Hubs into six sustainable '''European Research & Innovation Institutes (ER2I)''' by 2034.
			\|}

			__TOC__

			= Title: UNITA Research & Innovation Strategy =
			'''Goal:''' To structure sustainable European R&I institutes (ER2I) anchored in peripheral, cross-border, rural, and mountainous ecosystems by 2034.

			== Executive Description ==
			UNITA’s strategic R&I goal is to transform current thematic hubs into fully-fledged, legally and financially autonomous entities. These institutes will be central to a '''research-centered education strategy''', strengthening the Alliance’s visibility and competitiveness globally.

			=== The Five Building Blocks ===
			# '''Governance:''' Robust financial, legal, and administrative frameworks.
			# '''Identity:''' Promoting scientific reputation through flagship transnational projects.
			# '''Efficiency:''' Sharing resources and infrastructures to enable economies of scale.
			# '''Ecosystems:''' Integrating local public and private stakeholders for innovation transfer.
			# '''Talent:''' Enhancing attractiveness for early-stage researchers through Graduate Schools and PhD co-tutelles.

			----

			= 1. State of the Art =

			== Summary of Actions to Date ==
			The foundations were laid during UNITA Phase 1 and the Re-UNITA project (2021–2024). Concrete achievements include:
			* '''R&I Hubs:''' Establishment of six thematic hubs with dedicated co-leadership.
			* '''Research Cartography:''' A database mapping 1,486 projects and activities across the alliance.
			* '''Doctoral Network:''' Over 52 PhD co-tutelles launched; initiation of the '''CHORAL MSCA-COFUND''' project (42 PhD students for Cultural Heritage).
			* '''Open Science:''' Development of the *UNIGHT** project and a common Zenodo open-access platform.

			== Resource Analysis (Current State) ==
			{\| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"
			! Resource Category !! Status !! Details
			\|-
			\| '''Human Resources''' \| ~80 staff \| 12 hub co-leaders, 72 committee members, and specialized IT support.
			\|-
			\| '''Financial (E+)''' \| €2.5M+ \| Includes €1.2M for Starting Grants and €961k for Advanced Grants.
			\|-
			\| '''Constellation Projects''' \| €6.6M+ \| Re-UNITA (€2M), U*night (€395k), and CHORAL (€4.2M).
			\|-
			\| '''Infrastructure''' \| Shared Catalogue \| Managed by UNIZAR; cartography managed by USMB.
			\|}

			== Difficulties Encountered ==
			* '''Human Resources:''' Structuring hubs requires more staff than initially planned in Erasmus+ budgets.
			* '''Engagement:''' Ongoing challenge to fully involve the broader researcher community in hub-specific identities.
			* '''Policy Harmonization:''' Varying local and national legal constraints hinder unified strategy deployment.

			----

			= 2. Context & Analysis =

			== PESTEL Analysis ==



			{\| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"
			! Factor !! Key Aspects !! Impact on Strategy
			\|-
			\| '''Political''' \| EU MFF (2028-2034) & Cohesion Policy \| High potential to secure funding as "European demonstrators" of place-based innovation.
			\|-
			\| '''Economic''' \| Limited local private investment in rural areas \| Risk of public fund dependency; need to leverage regional specializations (Agri-tech, Green Energy).
			\|-
			\| '''Social''' \| Depopulation & Brain Drain \| ER2Is serve as drivers for local empowerment and youth retention.
			\|-
			\| '''Technological''' \| Digital Transition (AI, Open Science) \| Opportunity to lead in "Applied Rural Tech" and remote health/mobility solutions.
			\|-
			\| '''Environmental''' \| EU Green Deal & Climate Adaptation \| Mountain/Rural regions act as living laboratories for biodiversity and energy transition.
			\|-
			\| '''Legal''' \| GDPR, Open Science mandates, IPR \| Need to harmonize IPR across partners to manage innovation outcomes.
			\|}

			== Internal Resource Analysis (Forward-Looking) ==
			* '''Gaps:''' Insufficient HR for hub management; IT tools require upgrades for scientific networking; limited direct funding for specific research projects.
			* '''Opportunities:''' Alignment with the European Charter for Researchers and CoARA progress; leverage "Regional Smart Specialization Strategies."

			----

			= 3. Prioritization and Action Plan =

			== Prioritization Matrix ==
			{\| class="wikitable"
			! Action !! Feasibility !! Strategic Impact !! Priority
			\|-
			\| 1. Framework for 6 Institutes \| High \| High \| '''High'''
			\|-
			\| 2. UNITA Scientific Identity \| Medium \| High \| '''High'''
			\|-
			\| 3. Shared Resources/Infrastructures \| Medium \| Medium \| '''Medium'''
			\|-
			\| 4. Transnational Ecosystems \| Medium \| High \| '''Medium'''
			\|-
			\| 5. Early-Stage Researcher Attractiveness \| High \| High \| '''High'''
			\|}

			== Detailed Actions ==

			=== Action 1: Financial, Legal & Admin Framework ===
			* '''Goal:''' Integrate institutes within the EEIG (European Economic Interest Grouping).
			* '''Timeline:'''
			** 2028-2030: Conception of realistic integration framework.
			** 2030-2034: Full implementation of ER2I governance and management bodies.

			=== Action 2: Scientific Identity & Collaborations ===
			* '''Goal:''' Develop flagship projects that reach the most competitive European calls.
			* '''Indicators:''' Number of projects supported; external funding received.

			=== Action 3: Sharing Resources & Infrastructures ===
			* '''Goal:''' Transition to a sustainable model where the EEIG can host/buy common infrastructures.
			* '''Focus:''' Open infrastructures to local ecosystems for mutual benefit.

			=== Action 4: Transnational Ecosystem Networks ===
			* '''Goal:''' Incorporate local private/public stakeholders into the governance of the 6 institutes.
			* '''Business Model:''' Built on private-public collaborations tailored to local needs.

			=== Action 5: Early-Stage Researcher Attractiveness ===
			* '''Joint Degrees:''' Aiming for 15+ joint programs by 2034, with at least 6 at the Graduate level specifically tied to the ER2Is.
			* '''Strategy:''' Promoting "Mobility 4 All" at Undergraduate level while focusing on "Expertise and Differentiation" at Graduate level.
			* '''Talent Pipeline:''' Use Graduate Schools and co-tutelles to recruit global top-level PhD students.
