Sustainable Horizons

Sustainable Horizons -allianssin perustaminen perustuu Euroopan tutkimusalueen (European Research Area -ERA) and Euroopan koulutusalueen (European Education Area - EEA) tavoitteisiin ja se pyrkii kehittämään tutkimuksen synergioiden laatua, jotta pystyttäisiin paremmin vastaamaan globaaleihin haasteisiin ja mahdollisuuksiin tutimukseen linkittyvässä koulutuksessa.
Yleinen tavoite on vahvistaa eurooppalaista dimenisoita useista näkökulmista, kuten eri alueiden ja instituutioiden näkökulmasta. Allianssi keskittyy erityisesti alueellisen kestävän kehityksen näkökulmaan. Hanke on kaksivuotinen 1.9.2022-31.8.2024. Hyödynsaajina ovat erityisesti opiskelijat ja nuoret tutkijat, heidän tulevaisuuden näkymien ja toimintamahdollisuukisen parantaminen kehittämällä älykästä kyvykkyyttä sekä tutkimus- ja innovaatiotoimintaa.

Objectives
The Sustainability Horizon Alliance aims to become as a reference in Open Educational/ Science/Citizen resources by making material documents and research data available, and by increasing our share of open publications, a central player in open information in Europe. Several established open science initiatives and policies, are already establish among Alliance partners through which it provides services and support for students, researchers to practice open strategies. The Alliance repositories (UAlg, SAPIENTA https://sapientia.ualg.pt/, UHU Arias Montanto https://guiasbuh.uhu.es/AriasMontano, UTB DSpace https://digilib.k.utb.cz, and all the other similar initiatives from the partners BUVSA, LAB, LUBS) from the Sustainable Horizons will be also working together to guarantee an Open Educational, Open Science and Open Citizen Science resources Policy.
Realisation of goals
Economic/Technological: Increase 2% of Public and Private/Business investment in research in different HEI regions from WiDC in 2023 (synergy with PRR COVID Recovery Plans)

Scientific: New breakthrough scientific discovery on sustainability based on PhD thesis supported increasing the scientific performance of HEI of WidC with at least 20 scientific papers published one from each PhD candidate supported in open access in top cited scientific publications (Associcated partners from the Africa and South-America are involved).

Societal: Lower CO2 Climate impact in campus/region by activities like planting native plants and trees and develop of a sharing platform to incentive ecobike use etc. . Increase literacy about sustainability science in replicate effect in neighborhoods
