EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY ALLIANCE
WELCOME TO THE COLOURS ALLIANCE COMMUNITY!
Who We Are
As we take our first steps into a new era of collaboration, this webpage offers a glimpse into the unfolding story of our Erasmus+ funded European network. Bringing together nine prestigious universities, the COLOURS (COLlaborative innOvative sUstainable Regional univerSities) is set to paint a rich tapestry of experiences, innovations, and collaborative achievements in education, research, and cultural exchange.
Community
Through COLOURS CoLabs, CoSpaces and the digital platform CoHub, the COLOURS Alliance will bridge the gap between the theories of Open Innovation in academia and existing practical innovation spaces and policies in European regions.
CoLab
CoLab represents a series of 63 innovation processes specifically designed to foster collaboration and creativity. These processes are intended for students and stakeholders from all four Quadruple Helix sections who are invited to work on Smart Specialisation Goals in the region, connected to the Green, the Digital and the Social Transition. CoLab aims to generate groundbreaking ideas and drive innovative solutions through active participation and collective effort.
CoSpaces
We are also physically creating meeting-points of all the stakeholders across the multiple helices of co-creation, from Academia, Businesses, Civil society, Governmental institutions, Other alliances, International organisations, Citizens and all stakeholders.
CoHubs
CoHub is a digital platform for stakeholder collaborations designed to significantly enhance the scope of education and learning within our Alliance and beyond. It is a transformative tool that aims to revolutionise educational practices by expanding access and opportunities for students, educators, and stakeholders alike.
