Learn about "CITIES & COMMUNITIES"

Making local partnerships drive innovation through cross-sector co-creation of knowledge and real-life challenge-driven collaboration.

ENLIGHTS' support of collaboration between universities and external partners on a local level has shown how challenge-driven partnerships can develop groundbreaking education for students, offer organisations knowledge to tackle real-life challenges and enhance policymaking.

As a university alliance, ENLIGHT deepens internationalisation by connecting cities and regions throughout Europe. Best practices are elevated and spread across borders through interdisciplinary teams of students, teachers, and other professionals who are passionate about sharing knowledge, experience, visions, and ideas.

The Way To Knowing

Complex social challenges require interdisciplinary approaches. ENLIGHT's regional ecosystem of co-creation and collaboration brings together universities, municipal administrations, entrepreneurs, and other local stakeholders.

The cities and regional partners play a central role in this ecosystem and are associated partners to ENLIGHT.

Through the exchange of expertise and co-creation of knowledge, academia and non-academia shape new courses in higher education to address real-life challenges in local contexts, and in doing so, through ENLIGHT, contribute to synergies across borders in research and innovation that strengthen all of Europe.
