BI4E | BOOSTING INGENIUM FOR EXCELLENCE

Original description

The BI4E project is born out from the IngEniUm Alliance of European Universities with the ambition of enhancing the existing inter-university cooperation between the partner Universities, as well as with other entities (both international and local), and to strengthen the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) capacity to meet the diverse challenges faced by the Higher Education System and Institutions: the twin green and digital transition, the fight against climate change, the achievement of the Agenda 2030 SDGs, all of them profound societal challenges the Universities must be ready to address. The BI4E project intends to give a boost to the Alliance, making it an effective instrument to promote excellence in the partner HEIs, particularly targeted to the alliance members in the widening countries, the Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi and the Medical University – Sofia, and involving leading HEIs from six different Member States.
This BI4E project is particularly focusing on the research and innovation missions, completing the strategic and operational capacities of the partners, especially those from the widening countries.
BI4E activities will directly touch six out of the seven “transformation modules” proposed by the Policy Report ‘Towards a 2030 Vision on the Future of Universities in Europe’.
The project will improve HEI capacity to address major challenges, through the implementation of strategic planning adapted to their needs, institutional transformation, cooperation in terms of research, fostering entrepreneurship and the promotion of international scientific careers. The project will help to build closer cooperation links between the partners that will facilitate the exchange of information, knowledge and experience. At the end of the project the Alliance will be much more prepared to become a fully operational European University Alliance, in which cooperation in education and research will be carried out seamlessly.
