The European University for Well-Being gets funds from the EU
The European University for Well-Being (EUniWell) has won funding for a European project to boost its research partnership and support for young researchers.
EUniWell is funded by the European Commission and founded in November 2020 with its initial three-year phase focused on the development of joint international teaching programmes and research partnerships.
Its seven European member universities, the University of Cologne, Birmingham, Florence, Leiden, Linnaeus, Nantes, and Semmelweis, expertise in research is aimed to address the challenges of the well-being of communities and society as the whole based on 4 of UN Sustainable Development Goals (Well-Being & Health, Individual & Social Well-Being, Environment, Urbanity & Well-Being and Teacher Education).
The funds provided to EUniWell are to support a project presented as a part of a call of Horizon 2020 funding.
EUniWell project, based on its vision and mission, enables the development of research cooperation, shared infrastructures, collaborating, sharing practices and upskilling of young researchers within EUniWell. It will also engage with non-academic partners, like businesses and local communities and society.
Part of the plan is going to be dedicated to the development of a virtual portal, a space that will help well-being related research and innovation collaboration. Working with associated partners will be essential to share the knowledge and research leading to creating EUniWell Research Training Academy.
A big part of the plan is the connection to society and non-expert communities to have access to research information.
The core of the project is centred on the strengths of the member universities, their experience, and expertise in teaching, training, and research. These attributes will contribute to creating a series of schemes and training initiatives necessary to the engagement of the young generation, talents, and public in well-being-related research and issues.
