Brief description: Global societal challenges require new models and methodologies for education and research that are adapted to the complex sustainability issues facing cities and communities today. With this in mind, the EU-funded ENLIGHT RISE project will tackle five challenges: health and well-being, climate change, energy and circular economy, digital revolution, and equity. Specifically, the project will support the European university network ENLIGHT, bringing together nine comprehensive, research-intensive, new flagship universities with a strong reputation. The project’s overall aim is to leverage collective strengths and capitalise on innovation potential and partnerships to jointly promote a greener, healthier, more equitable and sustainable Europe. It will establish a new model that will reinforce co-creation with civil society and the business sector.
