The ENLIGHT alliance has created its Research & Innovation Observatory, a comprehensive platform of information presenting the research and innovation capacities of, and synergies between the ENLIGHT universities. The ENLIGHT R&I Observatory also collates the outputs from the alliance development related to Research & Innovation.
More specifically, the Observatory aims to move towards the creation of a common R&I agenda for the ENLIGHT alliance by facilitating the identification of expertise and potential synergies amongst the ENLIGHT universities and its external stakeholders (i) and fostering exchange, mutual learning and collaboration amongst the broader ENLIGHT community (ii).
Virtual exchange is an important part of ENLIGHT's vision of increased mobility in Europe.
Driving innovation in research is one of the central concerns of the ENLIGHT and a part of the transformation envisaged for higher education. On our new YouTube playlist on Research & Innovation, we are presenting e.g. recordings of our workshops and other activities. New videos will be posted at irregular intervals. Subscribe to the playlist and be informed directly when there is news.
