Benchmarking research and innovation strategies in CIVIS: first RIS4CIVIS report published Benchmarking research and innovation strategies in CIVIS: first RIS4CIVIS report published ============================================================================================ General 4 ottobre 2021 The project [RIS4CIVIS](https://civis.eu/it/discover-civis-alliance/our-work/civis-alliance-projects/recent-projects/ris4civis) supports the research and innovation (R&I) dimension of the CIVIS Alliance. It is an integral part of our long-term strategy, working in synergy with our educational activities. The 3-year project was awarded a budget of €2 million by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme "Science with and for Society". RIS4CIVIS will enable CIVIS and other European university alliances to pave the way and pool their expertise to address the 21st-century challenges through world-class R&I. RIS4CIVIS consists of several stages, in each of which we work on six thematic areas, known as modules: - Common Research & Innovation Strategy - Sharing Infrastructures - Reinforcing Academia-Business collaboration - Strengthening Human Capital - Mainstreaming of Open Science - Embedding Citizens and Society During the first six months of the project, each module has been working on establishing an inventory of the current practices and resources available within each CIVIS Alliance member, related to the six thematic areas, as well as identifying the legal, political or financial barriers in relation to their respective topics, taking into consideration factors that are both internal and external to each University. The first results have been compiled in a global report, now available for download, that has enabled us to create a shared basis for the implementation of the next phase of our project, known as « consensus-building ». It contributes to strengthening our mutual understanding and will allow us to launch ambitious projects to reinforce our integration and define our common R&I strategy. ### Methodology The methodology for the completion of the RIS4CIVIS benchmarking report consisted of several steps: 1. Dissemination of questionnaires 2. Review of responses and possible request for additional information 3. Write-up of the six module reports 4. Review of the six reports by WP1 leaders and further review of the questionnaire responses 5. Write-up of draft report and feedback from universities and module leaders 6. Completion of the final report ![](/storage/files/ris4civis-wp1-methodology-sequence.png) ***Figure 1.** Methodology steps followed during the Benchmarking phase* ### Download the report - [ RIS4CIVIS - WP1 Benchmarking Report.pdf (PDF, 3 MB) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/d11-wp1-ris4civis-benchmarking-report.pdf) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/martin-knoll1-800x600.jpg?token=2dd28f1c93ba3eaf2cd32b2380fdc009)Martin Knoll: a 'civizen' working to build bridges between science and society People 26 aprile 2026 ](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/martin-knoll-a-civizen-working-to-build-bridges-between-science-and-society) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/2026-04-staff-week-wiii-coms-unit-39-800x600.jpg?token=6d8c84ff7139d0bf2f7103fb27558509)CIVIS launches new job space for early-stage researchers across Europe and Africa Research 23 aprile 2026 ](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/civis-launches-new-post-doc-doc-job-space-to-connect-early-stage-researchers-across-europe-and-africa) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/2026-01-10-145317-800x600.jpg?token=bdddc6c1d1da89737850041c5fc0c227)Musicians from all over CIVIS come together in Madrid to promote inclusiveness Connect 22 aprile 2026 ](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/musicians-from-all-over-civis-come-together-in-madrid-to-promote-inclusiveness) [Scopri tutte le nostre storie](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom) [ Sapienza Università di Roma : Giorgio Parisi wins Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 ](< https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/giorgio-parisi-from-sapienza-universita-di-roma-wins-nobel-prize-in-physics-2021 >) [ CIVIS Board of Rectors meets in Madrid to discuss challenges and opportunities for our alliance ](< https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/civis-board-of-rectors-meets-in-madrid-to-discuss-challenges-and-opportunities-for-our-alliance >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
