AESIS: Access to EU research funding by stimulating and demonstrating societal impact – 7-9 December 2022

Research institutions, most notably, Universities (of Applied Sciences) throughout the EU are increasingly in the position to apply for EU research funding. Several EU initiatives were launched to give Universities access to these grants in order to strengthen their research programmers. To increase the chances of receiving this funding, it is important to know how the EU decides on these applications and understand the role of demonstrating the Societal Impact of the research project in this process.

UAS4EUROPE is a partner to this 3-day course to which research managers and administrators are invited to profit from the knowledge of various EU impact experts. The course will map out recent insights and results on measuring the impact of EU research and outline how the Union defines societal and economic impact. We will examine possiblities to enhance collaboration between universities, universities of applied sciences and research institutions and discuss how they can improve the demonstration of “impact” in their EU research funding applications. We will provide tools to optimise this even further by using the format of a Research Consortium which will include a segment with tips and tricks to help you to successfully apply for EU funding.

Together with experts in the field and other participants from all over Europe, representing a variety of contexts and a wide range of experiences, you will be able to discuss best practices to find solutions to shared problems and strengthen both research excellence as well as societal impact. Finally, we will convert our knowledge into practice and complete a course assignment which creates a large pool of sources to enhance your access to EU funding for your research projects.

As a partner to the event, UAS4EUROPE members benefit from a reduced participation fee!
