TORCH 2nd Annual Open Forum

TORCH (Transforming Open Responsible Research & Innovation) is a project funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 programme which aims to develop a common R&I agenda for the European universities initiative. This hybrid event (hosted by Trinity College Dublin) is open to stakeholders engaged in research and innovation as well as university-industry-citizen collaboration. Within its Research & Innovation dimension (TORCH), the CHARM-EU Alliance is developing its challenge-driven transformative R&I agenda based on a transdisciplinary and intercultural vision to solve complex societal challenges. The meeting focuses on five key R&I areas: 1. Working towards reforming research assessment. 2. Fostering equality, diversity and inclusivity. 3. Championing Open Science. 4. Promoting inter/transdisciplinary research driven by societal challenges. 5. Intensifying R&I Cooperation Between Universities. The TORCH Forum is addressed to all university leaders, researchers, innovators, policymakers and actors involved in R&I activities and management.
