PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 5TOI_4EWAS projectbacks a very
inclusive innovation policyimplementationpath as well as the Horizon 2020
objectives for encouraging the research and
innovation cooperationbetween the Union and SouthernMediterraneanNeighbourhood (Topic: INT-02-2015).
5TOI_4EWAS proposes a radically new way to generate innovation in the South
MediterraneanNeighbourhood, based on the innovation ecosystemcreated by the
Research 2 Innovation projectsfundedwithin the 7FP. Under the Quintuple helix
model, involving the widest possible range of stakeholders, the projectwill
focus on three key challenges - Food, Energy and Water through the Nexus
approach - as these issues are obviously at the top of the Research and
Innovation agenda in MPC countries.
The projectwillenhance and support regional
smart specialization and development by increasingresearchcapacity, effective
mobility of younginnovators/researchers and sharedknowledge to improvetheir
participation in the EU research area. It willcontribute to the establishment
of favourable and stable conditions for international cooperation and the
set-up of a Common Knowledge and Innovation Space of specialization in the SMN
for a real socio-economic impact, based on co-ownership and mutualbenefits.
5TOI aims
·
Support
international Science and Innovation policy dialogue and cooperation on water,
energy and food following NEXUS approach with co-design and co-ownership.
·
Foster
international cooperation between EU-MPC focused on targeted open innovation in
the energy, water and food sectors to increase the coordination and synergies
between policies and programmes among both regions.
·
Set up
a Common Knowledge and Innovation Space to achieve a collaborative R&I
ecosystem in the Southern Mediterranean Neighborhood.
·
Raise
awareness on targeted open innovation in the three strategic sectors among EU
and MPC policy, research business and civil society communities as well as
spread the relevance of international cooperation concepts for seizing common
challenges and opportunities.
5TOI tools and key actions
·
The
Joint Action Plan to jointly design international cooperation measures
o to support the improvement of research-policy coordination in
the project domains to face societal challenges;
o and to better align the JAP with the inventory of cooperation.
The
Nexus Think Tank in the MPC area to set up an experienced network to design the
future paths for development
o to deal with relevant topics that can be solved by research,
also in relation to potential political and policies paths
·
The
Research & Thematic committees to explore and to propose innovation
policies in the MED countries
·
to
present the state of the art of existing policies in the target countries on
selected topics so as to propose a renewal of existing policies to cope with
societal challenges
·
Common
Knowledge and Innovation Space
·
to
bridge the gap between research and innovation by creating opportunities for
exchanging researchers and maximizing the value of research outputs with the final
goal to contribute to regional growth and capacity building.
·
The
Innovation Vouchers to increase the capacity of MPC researchers and innovators
to get access to scientific excellence
o to ensure close synergies with the international dimension of
the H2020 calls
·
The
Research and Innovation H2020 Champions to enhance the Research and Innovation
capacity of the MPC institutions
·
to
train key actors within MPC organizations with the objective to increase the
Research and Innovation capacity of those institution and their networks.
