Reaching out to Europe

At present, Hanze University of Applied Sciences (HUAS) is successfully involved in several projects commissioned under the EU research and innovation programmes. Based on these experiences, with the Reaching out to Europe project, HUAS aims to develop a strategic framework to further enhance this engagement with EU research networks. To develop the strategic framework, a three-step approach is proposed. First, we will map and analyse existing EU projects and practices at HUAS. Second, we will work on a pilot on the topic of energy & sustainability in the North Netherlands region in general, and the City of Groningen in particular. Third, we will disseminate the results to the HUAS community by organizing workshops and other events. The end result is a Handbook for EU projects, including the strategic framework, good practice, and lessons learned. With all of this, we hope to contribute to the establishment of a HUAS Community of Practice on EU projects.
