    Research & Innovation UNITA bridges territories, Europe and the world around European values and shared identity

    ℹ️ Roadmap to European Research & Innovation Institutes (ER2I) for 2028–2034 : transitioning thematic hubs into sustainable, autonomous institutes anchored in mountainous and rural ecosystems.

    🏛️ The Vision: ER2I 2034

    By 2034, UNITA will move beyond temporary project groups to establish **six sustainable European Research & Innovation Institutes (ER2I)**. These will be:

    • ⚖️ Autonomous: Legally and financially independent entities within the UNITA EEIG.
    • 🏔️ Place-Based: Drivers for innovation in peripheral and cross-border regions.
    • 🎓 Research-Led: The core engine for UNITA’s Graduate Schools and PhD programs.

    🔍 1. State of the Art

    Current Achievements:

    • 6 Thematic Hubs active with co-leadership.
    • 1,486 projects mapped in the Research Cartography.
    • 52+ PhD co-tutelles and the CHORAL project (42 PhDs).
    • Common Open Science platform on Zenodo.

    Critical Gaps:

    • Staffing: Hub management requires more HR than current budgets allow.
    • Engagement: Need for deeper researcher identity within the hubs.
    • Legal: National constraints hinder unified IPR and strategy deployment.

    🌐 2. Strategic Context

    PESTEL Analysis

    🏛️ Political
    EU MFF (2028-34) support for "European demonstrators" of innovation.
    📈 Economic
    Risk of public dependency; need to leverage Agri-tech and Green Energy.
    👥 Social
    ER2Is as drivers for youth retention and reversing rural brain drain.
    🤖 Technological
    Leading in "Applied Rural Tech" and remote health solutions.
    🌱 Environmental
    Mountain regions as "Living Labs" for climate adaptation.
    ⚖️ Legal
    Complexity in harmonizing Intellectual Property (IPR) across partners.

    🚀 3. Action Plan

    🏗️ Action 1: Governance & Legal Framework

    • Goal: Integrate institutes within the UNITA EEIG.
    • 2028-30: Conception of the integration framework.
    • 2030-34: Full implementation of ER2I management bodies.

    🧪 Action 2: Scientific Identity & Talent

    • Flagships: Develop high-competition projects for European calls.
    • Joint Degrees: Aiming for 15+ joint programs (6 at Graduate level).
    • Pipeline: Use the CHORAL model to recruit global top-tier PhD talent.

    🤝 Action 3: Shared Resources & Ecosystems

    • Infrastructure: Sustainable model for EEIG to host common scientific tools.
    • Stakeholders: Incorporate local private/public actors into ER2I governance.

    📈 4. R&I Performance Indicators

    Indicator Focus Areas:

    • ER2I Autonomy: Legal status achievement (Target: 6 Institutes).
    • PhD Excellence: Number of active co-tutelles and MSCA candidates.
    • External Funding: Revenue generated from competitive EU calls (Horizon Europe/MFF).
