Our consortium consisting of partner institutions from Czechia, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Finland and Sweden have diverse experience with participation in Horizon Europe (HE), Synergic EU R&I funding, Smart Specialisation Clusters and other international R&I funding schemes, consider this call as the opportunity to strengthen institutions from Widening countries and upscale them on higher level through capacity, skills and competence building and networking actions. The key objective of the project "WIDE AcrossEU" is to move us, participants from Widening countries (the core group - 3 higher education institutions from the Czech Republic, North Macedonia and Ukraine), who are formerly a current single beneficiaries of regional funding programmes (ERDF, IPA, Interreg and similar investments for R&I infrastructure), to higher level and prepare us for wider and more successful participation in direct EU funding programmes. The specific objectives are: 1. To map the needs and requirements of target groups in Widening partners - State of Play, 2. To strengthen competitiveness of target groups in Widening countries by acquiring new transferable skills for R&I staff, 3. Access to networks and partnerships to secure more successful proposal and create a base for lead partner roles for Widening partners, 4. To better use R&I infrastructure funded under ERDF or similar investments, 5. To create strategies for R&I and Human Resources, 6. To improve access to excellent European R&I networks and communities, will be achieved through following work packages: WP1 Need of analysis for capacity and competence building, WP2 Acquisition of new transferable skills, WP3 Exploitation of R&I funding opportunities & networks, WP4 R&I valorisation, policy support and synergies, WP5 Dissemination, communication and exploitation and WP6 Management and coordination.
