Destination #1: Improved access to excellence
Objective: to create a portfolio of complementary actions that will build R&I capacities in
Widening countries enabling them to advance to the competitive edge at European and
international level.
Main impact:
• Increased science and innovation capacities for all actors ACTIONS
in modernised and more competitive R&I systems in • Teaming
widening countries • Twinning (incl. special call for
• Reformed institutions and increased attractiveness for Western Balkan Countries)
talents
• Excellence Hubs
• Higher participation success in Horizon Europe and more
consortium leadership roles
• European Excellence Initiative for
Higher Education Institutions
• Stronger linkages between academia and business and
improved career permeability • R&I Policy making in Western
• Strengthened role of the Higher Education sector in Balkans
research and innovation • Hop-on facility
• Better involvement of regional actors in R&I process • (under other actions) COST
• Improved outreach to international scale for all actorsTwinning (+ Western Balkans special) • Policy Objective: strengthen a defined field of research in a university or research organization of the widening countries by linking it with at least two leading research institutions in other Member States or Associated Countries in the chosen scientific domain. • Activities: short-term staff exchanges; expert visits; training; workshops; conference attendance; organisation of joint summer schools; dissemination and outreach activities; research projects (up to 30% of budget) • The Partnership: (1) the coordinator from a "Widening" country (must be a national/regional authority, research funding agency, university or res. organisation) – (2) at least two universities or research organisations with an international reputation in R&I excellence (from all EU28 or AC) • Changes compared to H2020: Making costs for research and equipment eligible (up to 30% of the total) – Focus on strengthening research management skills at coordinator – at least 70% of research project cost to be incurred by coordinator Opening: 20-07-2021 – Closing: 18-01-2022 WB: Opening: 29-06-2021 – Closing: 05-10-2021
