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.
- 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).
