REUNICE, research within the alliance

As part of the EUNICE alliance of European universities, the REUNICE project, funded by the Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, was launched in October 2021. REUNICE aims to promote cooperation between universities and non-academic sectors, in order to improve the quality and competitiveness of research and innovation activities. With this in mind, the project focuses on four topics :open science, diversity, links with industry, and sustainable science.

Open Science

Open science presents a new approach to the scientific process, based on cooperative work and new ways of disseminating knowledge.

Diversity

Many actions have been implemented to foster diversity, inclusion and gender equality within the alliance : data collection from partners and study of the current situation in terms of inclusion  definition of an action plan in each university to develop better inclusion policies  proposal of a roadmap to promote the development of an inclusion policy and implementation of a inclusive communication charter for the alliance; definition of a joint plan for the Human Resources Strategy for Research (HRS4R) to promote talent and improve recruitment practices.

Links with industry

One of REUNICE's key objectives is to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurial activity in the regions, by supporting both local student entrepreneurial movements and university-led commercialization activities. To this end, various actions have been carried out : identification of 69 best practices within the consortium ; creation of a virtual network of commercialization support resources, via the development of a platform (

The EUNICE European University is committed to disseminating research, innovation and science by participating in a wide range of scientific dissemination events. The aim of these events is to make visible the research and resources available within the EUNICE alliance, encouraging open science and inclusion.
