On September 21–22 thirty researchers from the six partner universities of the Ulysseus European University (University of Seville, Spain; University of Genoa, Italy; Université Côte d’Azur, France; the Technical University of Kosice, Slovakia; MCI | The Entrepreneurial School, Austria, and Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, Finland) attended the Ulysseus Compass Researchers’ Days in Helsinki.
– We focus on these areas in our research, development, and innovation projects, combine them with student projects, and apply methods, create service concepts, prototypes and solutions – and competencies for both our staff and students. Involving Ulysseus partners and collaborating with them is an important part of this equation, underlined Salla Huttunen, Vice-President at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences.
This event will enable, through a series of workshops, to address upcoming opportunities. The objective is to develop new joint European projects. The focus is on Horizon Europe calls, an EU key funding program for research and innovation. Additionally, researchers may establish other collaborations for future scientific workshops, seminars, congresses, courses and mobilities within the Ulysseus framework.
