Research at EUt+

EUt+ European Research Office (ERO)

The EUt+ Research Office (ERO) plays a central role in promoting research excellence across the EUt+ alliance. Its mission is to provide seamless project management and administrative support, driving collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing among the EUt+ partner institutions. The ERO operates as the linking hub between Researcher within the alliance, and supports the ERIs/ERGs.

The ERO offices build on and complement the existing structures of the Research Services of the nine (9) partner universities in the alliance and collaborate with each other to connect and support Researcher.

EUt+ Research Roadmap

This task focuses on the further development and implementation of a common EUt+ research roadmap, with the aim of establishing a comprehensive framework to guide research activities within the EUt+ alliance. It will be carried out in close collaboration with the ERIs and ERGs, ensuring alignment with the alliance’s strategic objectives, fostering synergies across its members, and promoting a unified approach to research excellence, resource sharing, and long-term strategic goals.

<!-- wp:lazyblock/links-01 {"title":"Research in EUt+","subtitle":"Research at EUt+ is a fundamental pillar of the alliance, driving knowledge creation, innovation, and sustainable development. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting knowledge exchange among its partner universities, EUt+ strengthens its research excellence and deepens its engagement with society and industry. Through initiatives that support research projects, enhance doctoral education, and promote the development of innovative solutions, EUt+ is building a dynamic and inclusive research ecosystem. This collaborative approach supported by shared knowledge and access to funding, helps shape a robust European research community, enabling impactful advancements across diverse fields and tackling global challenges through cutting-edge scientific inquiry. Knowledge creation in EUt+ is both the outcome and the starting point of education. By connecting students to research, EUt+ drives the generation of knowledge for the benefit of society as a whole..","blockId":"ZUbuEv","blockUniqueClass":"lazyblock-links-01-ZUbuEv"} /-->

EUt+ Research Groups (ERGs) & EUt+ Research Institutes (ERIs):

The ERGs and ERIs form the backbone of EUt+’s collaborative research initiatives, combining expertise from all partner universities to achieve common research goals. Research activities within EUt+ are organized into two main structures:

EUt+ Research Groups (ERG): These are research teams that provide a framework for collaborative research.

EUt+ Research Institutes (ERI): These are research institutes established based on high-profile criteria and subject to evaluation. ERIs adopt a unified identity (a shared name).

$    <p></p> $

Objective of ERG/ERI:

Enable researchers to work together on joint research and technology transfer projects.
Support the development of members’ skills and the implementation of best practices, based on the exchange of knowledge, resources, and infrastructure.
Actively pursue the submission of research proposals and securing funding and grants for research projects.
Enhance mobility for academics and researchers within EUt+ member institutions.
Collaborate with external stakeholders such as industry, public organizations, other research institutes, and higher education institutions.

For more information regarding the ERIs/ERGs, visit the ERO website via the link below:

ERO website

Common Research Institutes across EUt+ and actively enable joint research activities between the partners. Institutes will become a point of reference for research in Europe.

EUt+ Graduate Research School (EGRS)

The EGRS of EUt+ will integrate the existing structures of the universities of the alliance and will facilitate/provide, the mobility of doctoral students, cross-sectoral support for postgraduate education within the EUt+ institutes/Groups (ERIs/ERGs), the development and implementation of common frameworks that promote joint supervision, placements in research laboratories, and joint projects at both postgraduate and doctoral levels, the development of joint postgraduate research programs within the ERIs/ERGs, and the development of a joint curricula.

Within the framework of the European Graduate Research School (EGRS) of the EUt+ alliance, in which our University actively participates, the following platform was developed by CUT. Its aim is to strengthen research collaboration and networking within the alliance by utilizing the results of a recent related survey.

Users can:

Identify researchers working in the same scientific fields (based on the ERC classification),
Find partners for joint research projects, cotutelle agreements (joint PhD supervision), and interdisciplinary collaboration.
