This project is funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement No. 101136453.
The A4L_BRIDGE project aims to strengthen research and innovation (R&I) performance across the EU by advancing higher education in the R&I dimension at health research-performing institutions. Building on the strategic partnership established by the Alliance for Life Sciences (Alliance4Life), the project is dedicated to reducing disparities in research and innovation excellence within Europe.
A4L_BRIDGE focuses on bridging the gap in R&I by enhancing the capabilities of research institutions in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). We seek to achieve this through sustainable institutional reforms, modernisation of research career frameworks, and fostering interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration. Our mission aligns with the European Research Area (ERA) policy agenda and supports national and regional systems in implementing transformative processes that elevate research excellence and innovation capacity in Widening countries.
