Transform 4 European Research & Innovation - T4ERI
until 31/10/2027
The T4ERI project is a key initiative within the T4EU Universities' Alliance, which encompasses various initiatives and undertakings (see T4EU). The project is central to shaping the Alliance’s strategy, focusing on digital, social and environmental transformation to create smart, sustainable, and inclusive regions.
Key goals of the T4ERI project include:
- Developing a unified Research and Innovation agenda for the Alliance.
- Creating a strategy to attract and retain exceptional researchers.
- Promoting Open Science to benefit the T4EU ecosystem and society at large.
Through these efforts, T4ERI aims to position the Alliance as a leader in addressing global challenges.
The project enhances interdisciplinary collaboration within the Alliance, facilitates shared access to key research infrastructure, and plans to establish major research centers aligned with its mission. It also focuses on attracting and retaining top researchers while actively involving civil society in research and innovation.
T4ERI has developed a network of partners and stakeholders to advance citizen science research across various fields:
- Environmental and Natural Sciences: Involving citizens in data collection on biodiversity conservation, bioeconomy, green transition, and sustainability.
- Social Sciences: Engaging students and non-professional scientists in developing research ideas and methodologies on topics such as borders and migration in the 20th and 21st centuries, and sustainable heritage.
Aim
The project is structured around three main pillars:
- Collaboration in Research and Innovation
- Best Careers for the Brightest Minds
- Science4All
The Science4All pillar specifically focuses on public engagement in research and innovation, emphasizing citizen science. It aims to strengthen the T4EU network of partners and stakeholders to drive these efforts.
The T4EU public engagement and citizen science network will address research in the following areas:
- Biodiversity Conservation and Bioeconomy
- Borders and Migration in the 20th and 21st Centuries
- Digitalisation and Social Transformation
- Green Transition and Sustainability
- Health Care and Promotion
- Sustainable and Transformative Heritage
- Sustainable Built Environment
Although the T4ERI project ends in September 2024, Citizen Science activities will continue as part of the Transform4Europe University Alliance.
