INVEST CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE: ADVANCING TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH FOR SUSTAINABILITY
The governance structure of the INVEST Centre of Excellence has been formally approved by the Rector’s Assembly at Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca. Coordinated by Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, the Centre is designed to foster transdisciplinary research that addresses regional sustainability challenges across Europe.
A Strategic Pillar for Regional Sustainability
The INVEST Centre of Excellence is one of the three strategic pillars of the INVEST alliance, with a focus on:
- Water, Energy, Food, and Environment Nexus
- Quality of Life
- Entrepreneurship
The Centre’s goal is to serve as a collaborative platform where research and innovation come together to create sustainable solutions with both regional and global relevance.
Next Steps: Principal Investigators’ Kick-off Meeting
With governance approval now in place, the next step is the Principal Investigators’ kick-off meeting, scheduled for December in Reims. This meeting will establish collaborative priorities, aligning research efforts to support INVEST’s overarching objectives in European higher education and sustainable development.
