EMPOWERING REGIONAL INNOVATION THROUGH IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Read the Community Voice article by Alexandra Tulla, Leopold Kögler-Vencour and Michal Karpísek from St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences | E³UDRES² European University.
It presents a pilot study by the E³UDRES² Alliance using the UASIMAP framework to evaluate universities’ contributions to regional development. Emphasizing participatory assessment and flexible, context-sensitive tools, it highlights how higher education institutions can align strategies with regional needs and demonstrate broader societal value.
DESIGNING AND SUPPORTING FIT-FOR-PURPOSE VENUES OF COLLABORATION
Read the Community Voice article by Siep Littooij and Leon Cremonini | Saxion UAS.
As Europe prepares FP10, the article calls for rethinking innovation policy by prioritising structured “venues of collaboration” over temporary project consortia. These venues, like Living Labs or Centres of Expertise, enable fluid, long-term, and regionally grounded partnerships. The authors propose a “Collaboration Continuum Framework” to guide, evaluate, and sustain effective, adaptive innovation ecosystems.
