EUniWell #Research

The EUniWell #Research project, funded through the Horizon 2020 programme, ran until November 2024. This initiative focused on advancing the well-being research agenda, supporting researchers’ career development, and developing a culture of Open Science within our Alliance.

EUniWell Research & Innovation Strategy

EUniWell is committed to building a common Research & Innovation (R&I) Strategic Framework aligned with the vision of the European Research Area (ERA). This framework fosters the development of an Alliance-wide research ecosystem to address Europe’s well-being challenges. 

Under the EUniWell #Research Programme, the Alliance set up the conditions for a coordinated EUniWell research agenda and a common EUniWell Research & Innovation Strategy, based on adequate and complete documentation of our member universities’ landscape of research activities, processes, networks, and infrastructures.

Well-Being Research Incubator

The Well-Being Research Incubator aimed to encourage collaboration between researchers from a number of EUniWell institutions and across a variety of disciplines. Through online workshops and small-scale projects, it supported joint interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research.

This programme encouraged and enabled applicants to explore research activities taking place across Europe, build a network of peers, and identify common interests, synergies, and potential research collaborations.

Culture of Open Science

Research results and data should be made available as widely as possible to reach society, the economy, and policymakers. Beyond the development of infrastructure that enables the sharing of data and results, a culture of Open Science also depends on researchers’ capacity to communicate their research results broadly, beyond their peers, to non-specialist audiences.

The EUniWell #Research project:

  • Accelerated the digital and green transition and the implementation of Open Science approaches through FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) data, digital methods, and infrastructure sharing;
  • Provided specific training modules to EUniWell researchers as part of its Science-Transfer concept, enabling the outreach of research results beyond academic audiences.

Online training modules:

  • Research Data Management training (in February, April, and May 2024)
  • Workshop on Data Stewardship (planned for summer 2024)
  • Workshop on FAIRification (planned for summer 2024)
  • FAIR Data Training Knowledge Base (planned for summer 2024)

EUniWell Research Training Academy

The EUniWell Research Training Academy supported researchers’ skills, careers, and leadership development by centralising Alliance-wide training offers during the first funding phase. In response to the challenge-focused and impact-oriented transformation of research, EUniWell is dedicated to equipping researchers with new skill sets and opening diverse career pathways that extend beyond the publication and citation track records of contemporary research careers.

Additionally, the EUniWell Skills Taxonomy Study was developed within this project, identifying and defining essential well-being skills. This study guided the prioritisation of specific activities and training offers within the Research Training Academy.
