Empowering Research and Innovation Actions in Circle U.

The main objective of the Circle U. ERIA project is to boost the research dimension of the Circle U. alliance – Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Germany), Aarhus University (Denmark), King’s College London (United Kingdom), Université de Paris (France), University of Belgrade (Serbia), University of Louvain (Belgium) and University of Oslo (Norway) – and pilot initiatives that broaden and deepen interactions with society. The Knowledge Hubs will be used as platforms to host and test activities that foster interdisciplinarity in research, promote the co-construction of solutions with stakeholders outside academia and make research more accessible to citizens and practitioners.
Circle U. will also strengthen the human capital of the alliance with a focus on empowering early-career researchers, and by linking up with other European universities to help build the new European Research and Innovation Area.
