Empowering European Research: Highlights from the Cross-Alliances Forum 2023 Empowering European Research: Highlights from the Cross-Alliances Forum 2023 ============================================================================== Alliance projects 20 decembrie 2023 Many inspiring speeches were delivered on the 30 November and 1 December at the **Science with and for Society in European Alliances: Cross-Alliances Forum 2023**, in Brussels. Showcasing the progress that 37 alliances have made so far, the event aimed to create the free movement of knowledge. As underscored by **Manuel Aleixo** (*DG RTD, Head of Unit ERA Spreading excellence & Research careers*) and **March Tachelet** (*Director of REA*) during their speeches, the European Universities Alliances and the European Commission are doing their best to make **Europe the most attractive place for research** and to encourage individuals to become researchers. More than 230 guests were part of the auditorium. At the plenary sessions, all speakers agreed that now is the time to influence policymakers, especially in securing adequate funding for the ambitious goals of these Alliances. 11 organizing Alliances pooled their forces to initiate workshops and roundtables with professionals from various fields and all participating alliances. Discussions were focused on HR issues, advancing common science agendas, SwafS projects’ contribution for future developments of the Alliances and inter- and trans-disciplinarity in research management. In the heart of the event ------------------------- The emphasis was put on curiosity-driven, responsible, and transparent research, collaboration over competition, and dissemination of findings to society. Pivotal discussions and experience exchange played a crucial role in making informed decisions for the future, promoting impactful, quality-driven projects. ![](/storage/files/2023-11-30-swafs-forum-day-1-a-delsoir-photo-5912web.jpg)photo by Aurore DelsoirDuring an interactive poster session, the Alliances showcased their best results, and participants shared their best practices and valuable insights regarding seven transformational modules.

European Commission members **Tine Delva** (*DG EAC, Deputy Head of Unit*) and **Stijn Delauré** (*DG RTD, Policy Officer*) attended the wrap-up, expressing satisfaction with the growing impact of the Alliances. The latter, through their Swafs projects, gained invaluable knowledge: > *The European Universities Alliances are on the right path to being pioneers of change,* said **Minna Wilkki, Head of the Department C, REA.** You can enjoy the [replay of the event](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if6gGpH2RwY) and the wonderful [photo gallery](https://gallery.fotostudio.io/aurore-delsoir-photography/science-with-and-for-society-in-european-universities-alliances-charm-eu?accessCode=Z2npv7) online. --- *The Organising Committee of the event wants to thank the photographer* [*Aurore Delsoir*](https://www.auroredelsoir.be/) *for her great work during the forum.* Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-comms-unit-jeanne-sadzot-eaie-2025-day3-072-800x600.jpg?token=e59a0708badeb11203623a52a92a826d)Students must be at the centre of the development of the European Degree General 22 septembrie 2025 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/students-must-be-centre-development-european-degree) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/dscf4832-800x600.jpg?token=d3a01a092771eb6a8a7c02a9728c003f)CIVIS Days 2025 opened with call for “transclusivity” in European higher education Communication and Dissemination 19 iunie 2025 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/civis-days-2025-opened-transclusivity-european-higher-education) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/panel-1-toulouse-17-sept-2024-small-800x600.jpeg?token=466e5a252a78a59e412302aa35ee18bb)Internationalisation of European Universities Alliances: The New Frontiers Communication and Dissemination 23 octombrie 2024 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/internationalisation-of-european-universities-alliances-the-new-frontiers) [Descoperiți toate articolele noastre](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom) [ AMU launches a platform to democratize scientific content ](< https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/amu-launches-a-platform-to-promote-scientific-culture-for-enriching-democratic-discourse >) [ Sweden continues push for open access to scholarly publications ](< https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/stockholm-need-to-move-away-from-transformative-agreements-and-provide-open-access-to-scholarly-publications >) ![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).
