RIS4SEB · ENHANCING REASERCH AND INNOVATION SYNERGIES FOR SCHOOLS OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS

ENHANCING R&I SYNERGIES FOR SCHOOLS OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS project, or RIS4SEB, is a proposal for the Pathways to synergies call, selecting the a) Upstream synergy mode (focusing on HR development and internalization).The RIS4SEB project creates a synergy for the widening project partners (Prague University of Economics and Business, Kaunas University of Technology, and Estonian Business School) who were previously successful in obtaining ERDF, Interreg, or similar indirect EU projects in cooperation with a highly experienced non-widening partner, the Bocconi University, building a pathway towards increased success in international research projects such as within the Horizon Europe (HE) programme. To this end, based on an analysis of widening countries low integration into ERA, the consortium chooses to focus on the research areas of economics and business, with the project partners all being either economics and business universities or schools / faculties. The project overall objective is to design and pilot three strategies aiming at enabling and facilitating effective synergies between Horizon Europe and other national/regional funds, by strengthening Internationalization of R&I widening actors, developing Human Resources, and improving Research management capacity and overall competitiveness of the widening partners. RIS4SEB will achieve this objective via supplementary capacity-building activities, such as networks, infrastructures, upskilling of research managers and researchers and research proposal pipelines and clinics, resulting in submitting of at least 4 HE projects.
