International seminars on urban mobility, gamification events to enhance knowledge and awareness of the circular economy, activities to boost sustainability transformation, or an initiative to join forces between BAUHAUS initiatives across Europe, are just some of the proposals that will receive funding from the first EELISA Call for Joint inter-institutional Activities in Communities.
As following both, the EU’s and EELISA’s motto “united in diversity”, the call received a total of 46 applications from students, faculty, researchers and staff of BME, ENPC, FAU, ITÜ, PSL, SNS, SSSA, UPB, and UPM. In summary, 27 EELISA Communities representing members of the seven countries involved in EELISA, participated in the call. The selection committee also highlighted the diversity of the proposals concerning the format of activities and the different fields of engineering and innovation addressed.
In this context, proposals represent activities taking place online, hybrid, blended, and in-person modes and cover various fields such as energy transition, med-tech, mobility, agriculture, architecture and the interaction of social sciences and engineering thereby addressing Europe’s challenges of today and tomorrow.
The development of proposals for this first Joint Call has prompted the involvement of over 500 people from the EELISA alliance and nearly 130 external partners including, among others, research centres and institutions, municipalities, city councils, university startups, and spin-offs, NGOs, private companies, regional transport authorities, and members of other European universities, among others.
In the words of the selection committee, “this initiative is on the right path to achieving the goal of creating synergies between higher education institutions and industry to boost engineering, innovation and entrepreneurship in Europe”.
So congratulations to the winners!
