This recent report by EU Science, Research and Innovation examines successful initiatives that attract, train, or retain human capital to bolster entrepreneurial ecosystems in European non-urban areas. The study reveals how initiatives such as Connected Hubs (🇮🇪), RAISE Youth (🇪🇸), Lärcentrum (🇸🇪), Rural Move (🇵🇹) and Incubatore SEI (🇮🇹) promote #sustainability, inclusivity, and #resilience while leveraging urban-rural connections to enhance brain circulation, #innovation, and local opportunity.
Head of Unit for Territorial Development, Joint Research Centre at European Commission
A new EU Science, Research and Innovation report, which is part of the Startup Village Forum’s research activities, analyses successful initiatives, supported by public policies or private efforts, which focus on attracting, training or retaining human capital to bolster entrepreneurial and #innovation ecosystems in European #rural areas. The analysed initiatives have been promoted by public actors in Ireland (Connected Hubs), Spain (RAISE Youth) and Sweden (Lärcentrum), and by private ones in Portugal (Rural Move) and Italy (Incubatore SEI). They vary widely in terms of their typology, objectives, operational approaches, target groups, services provided, and implementation periods. They leverage urban-rural networks, thus enhancing brain circulation and brain bank. The study reveals that key elements for success relate to participation in #urban-rural networks, close collaboration with higher educational institutions, engagement with public #institutions, and robust political support across different tiers of government.

📍 Online 📅 Tuesday, 24 September 🕐 13:00 - 13:45 (CET) We are excited to share that the European Commission is hosting "Research in Action: How to Define, Measure, and Communicate the Societal Impact of Your Work?" At CO-VALUE, we believe in the importance of societal value creation in #research. This event will feature expert speakers sharing their best practices to help researchers effectively communicate the impact of their work. #Knowledgevalorisation #Research #Innovation #europeancommission #ImpactfulResearch #SocietalImpact
Societal value creation is at the heart of the universities’ third mission, and it is the ambition of publicly funded research. However, measuring and communicating the achieved and potential impact of research results is not always straightforward. Several approaches have been developed to support researchers in identifying and presenting the value of their work for society. Our three speakers will present their best practices. We are excited to announce an upcoming EU Knowledge Valorisation Talk: Research in Action: How to Define, Measure, and Communicate the Societal Impact of Your Work? If you are interested in raising the societal value of your research and bringing it closer to society, this session is for you! Speakers: 🔹 Laura Valkeasuo , Senior Advisor at the University of Helsinki 🔹 Hélder Lopes, PhD, Director of Research and Innovation at Universidade Nova de Lisboa 🔹 Tomas De Groote, Impact Coach at Sociale InnovatieFabriek Join us for an inspiring talk on the societal impact of research! 📍 Online 📅 Tuesday, 24 September 🕐 13:00 - 13:45 (CET) Register now: europa.eu/!4MCBpy #ResearchImpact #SocietalImpact #Innovation

Horizon4Poland'24 is a matchmaking event addressed to businesses and the scientific industries. The event's format introduces participants to issues related to the Horizon Europe program, enables them to learn about the Industry Contact Points' offerings, and assists them in finding international partners. As a partner of the Lukasiewicz Research Network, Ekonomikas un kultūras augstskola / EKA University of Applied Sciences participated in the event. The Rector of EKA shared her main insights about collaboration and fostering innovation: ☑️ We have to be brave. We must abandon stereotypes and do things we have never done before. ☑️ The success of research projects and innovation is not always a story about a lack of funding. Sometimes, it is a story about a lack of good projects. ☑️ One of the barriers to successful collaboration is a lack of entrepreneurial skills. #collaboration #project #research #skills
