This is the COOPERATE newsletter with the latest information about the COOPERATE project, which during the next months (2023-2025) will define and pilot the ERA Hubs, one of the ERA policy actions defined by the Council of the European Union for the next years. Building on the vision and success stories developed within the EuroTech Universities Alliance and their R&I ecosystems, the COOPERATE partners will contribute to the future development of the ERA Hubs as a key European flagship to promote R&I ecosystems.

| Two day Kick-off in Brainport Eindhoven |
This meeting kicked off the activities of the project “COOrdinating and Piloting actions towards ERA-hubs as in Ter- and intra- regional Ecosystems for knowledge production (COOPERATE)”, launched in January 2023 and funded by the European Commission. The project, led by the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), aims to develop and pilot the ERA Hub concept based on the vision and success stories developed within the EuroTech Universities Alliance and their R&I ecosystems.
The overall approach revolves around co-creation arenas in which ecosystems and a broader community of quadruple helix actors can interact. The piloting phases of the project’s implementation are expected to test the approach and pave the way for its consolidation and replication phase.
This two-day event was co-organized by the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Brainport Development, who were joined by STAM SRL, IDEA Consult, Technical University of Denmark, Science City Lyngby, and Czech Technical University in Prague. All seven COOPERATE partners had the opportunity to share the aims and objectives of the COOPERATE project towards the development and testing of ERA hubs in Europe. Needs, expectations and next steps were discussed both days at TU/e campus and High Tech Campus Eindhoven.

According to Marianna, "In Denmark and the Netherlands, we are well advanced in our efforts to initiate local partnerships, while in many other places in Europe, such transversal partnerships have not yet been established”.
