Alliance4Life

Alliance4Life expands to twelve leading Life Science institutions from eleven EU Member States located in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). In line with its mission, Alliance4Life aims to further contribute to closing the divide in European health research and innovation.

As a source of good practices successfully piloted during the previous phase, the Alliance4Life will build upon its results and impact achieved so far and convert its recommendations and strategies into actions:

• Culture fostering excellence: piloting peer-evaluation and assessment of institutional practice as a strategic management tool, professionalizing research administration;
• Recognition and trust towards CEE: attracting advanced partners to identified pockets of excellence, supporting scientific ideas originating in CEE, initiating new international projects and collaborations with industry;
• Career policy nurturing talent: training and networking next generation of leaders, upgrading institutional career systems;
• Impact on innovation: raising the competences of technology transfer specialists, creating industry relations platform linking academia and industry;
• Spill-over effects: sharing, inspiring, communicating with stakeholders and policy makers; using the established networks to gain advice, new collaborations, and EU-wide impact.
