From Research to Reality:
Celebrating the Successful Completion of RE-EURECA-PRO
RE-EURECA-PRO has come to an end!
The Research and Innovation Dimension of EURECA-PRO, which was a “Science with and for Society” HORIZON 2020 project, was completed in September 2024.
After 3 years of working together, our partners from 7 universities (MUL, SUT, TUBAF, HSMW, UP, ULE and TUC) developed 46 deliverables and achieved 16 milestones. More than 30 researchers and coordinators worked on RE-EURECA-PRO between September 2021 and August 2024. Our team was very diverse in terms of gender (50/50), age (from 20 plus to 70 plus), university positions (from young researcher to rector) and professional as well as educational backgrounds. Together we formed a strong, creative and committed team.
