European Innovation Hubs at a Glance

The RUN-EU European Innovation Hubs are interregional networks that will use academic expertise and shared infrastructures to develop interuniversity research, innovation, and regional stakeholder engagement opportunities to enhance the link between teaching, research, and innovation within RUN-EU.

Based on a collaborative approach and shared and open access to knowledge, innovation and infrastructures, they will be unique platforms to exchange expertise in Europe.

The activities of the Hubs will be designed to deliver on societal transformation requirements, within the framework of the relevant Smart Specialisation Strategies and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and influence and guide social policies, higher education strategies, future skills programmes, interregional activities, and joint applications to European RD&I calls by the RUN-EU members.
