About the Project
EUTOPIA Health - Empowering Widening universities in the EUTOPIA Alliance and fostering academic excellence in health
Challenges in Health require integration of knowledge and communication between specialists from different health-related fields to develop effective solutions. The EUTOPIA_HEALTH project, an EUTOPIA Alliance initiative, aims to create a novel and innovative framework for the integrative academic management of health-related scientific areas, facilitating changes in the academic landscape within the European research area, through a comprehensive institutional transformation.
The project targets three Widening countries (Romania, Slovenia, Portugal) of the alliance, that have traditionally lagged behind in health-related domains, striving to overcome funding and publication disparities, and spearheading academic excellence and innovation in these critical domains. Therefore, the project aims to empower institutional transformation by strengthening health-related R&I management capacity, upgrading and adapting R&I management strategies and policies within Widening HEIs in line with the principles of the European research assessment reform.
A health-focused R&I network within EUTOPIA will be established through Connected Health Research Communities, that will receive inter/transdisciplinary trainings, research mobilities for early-career researchers and seed-funding for research collaborations, all centered around health-related challenges.
