EURASHE is involved in Research, Development and Innovation through its activities linked to universities of applied sciences (UAS), innovation, regional development, knowledge transfer.
Underneath are further information on our activities in the area:
The continually evolving societies require heavy investment in the cooperation within the knowledge triangle, with the threefold (education, research and service to society) embedded in the UAS mission they are ideally placed to unleash the full potential of the European Research Area (ERA). The UAS applied research activities can quickly respond to the changes and pair research outcomes to real changes in order to make a real impact, especially on the regional level. The research activities include various types of projects, multidisciplinary topics and research conducted in cooperation with and involving stakeholders.
From a European perspective the UAS act as regional connectors, international key players and project leaders, consulting bodies and key contributors to European entrepreneurship and education. This is why applied RDI is one of EURASHE’s four key focus areas. We see it as a crucial factor in enhancing the European innovation potential. We commit strongly to promoting it, further developing the role of applied research in UAS and to contributing to the transfer of research results and increased cooperation through innovation and applied RDI activities.
