The core objectives
Objective #1
What did we want to achieve?
Fully realise HEINNOVATE potential to support regional embedded and responsible Smart Universities to play a pivotal role in RIS3.
How did we do it?
- By adjusting HEIs individual and joint position as regional assets;
- By underpinning collaborative processes among key actors of the triple helix and quadruple helix;
- By supporting policy making for sustainable research and innovation.
Objective #2
What did we want to achieve?
Promote an effective use of the SUNAR self-assessment tool in order to leveraging sustained organisational changes in HEIs.
How did we do it?
- Through collaborative processes with HEIs’ regional congeners for a joint positioning on HEIs value for regional development;
- By capitalising the results obtained from these processes.
Objective #3
What did we want to achieve?
Foster multi-stakeholder engagement in HEIs optimisation processes and in RIS3 design, implementation and monitoring processes.
How did we do it?
- By supporting their participation in mixed approaches for decision making regarding the future of the region;
- By offering their views on HEIs current and potential positioning;
- By supporting relevant organisational changes in line with the business and regional needs.
Objective #4
What did we want to achieve?
Mainstream RE-ACT resources and participatory processes, capacitating and enabling regions and their assets through HEIs invigoration.
How did we do it?
- By directly supporting other HEIs and key actors from the triple helix and quadruple helix to fully use and benefit from:
- SUNAR self-assessment tool;
- the designed training programmes for capacity building and the organized collaborative activities.
Objective #5
Ensure the continuous improvement of the performance and timely/effective implementation of the project work plan, as well as the high-quality, relevance, innovation, usability, and sustainability of the project results.
Objective #6
What did we want to achieve?
Making as many stakeholders as possible aware of RE-ACT.
How did we do it?
- By engaging key actors in the project activities;
- By furthering the sustainability of the project methodologies, resources, and results.
Objective #7
What did we want to achieve?
Successfully implement the project and achieve its ambitions and objectives.
How did we do it?
- By establishing and nurturing effective communication and joint learning among partners;
- By promoting collaborative work among partners.
