SMAR3TS Secondments & Alignment with Innovate-3X
What are Igniting Impactful Initiatives
(also known as Innovate3X / I3X)
Innovate3X Guiding Principles:
-
Innovate3X (I3X) should aim to accelerate the understanding/scoping of a challenge (technological, market, societal etc), and the emergence/development of possible solutions. This can be interpreted as e.g. increased technological or societal readiness, once the I3X is completed.
-
I3X should have a sufficient scale and scope (i.e. not being too narrowly-defined) and should require multi/cross/inter/transdisciplinary capabilities.
-
I3X should align to the core concepts of SMAR3TS – Resilience, Restoration, Regeneration (either R or all Rs).
-
I3X should align to (at least) one WP (Nutrition, Energy, Mobility, Housing) – WPs are the main coordination mechanism of the project, hence I3X should be connected to WPs.
-
Any partner can initiate an I3X. Yet, shaping the I3X should be done collectively, and in collaboration with the appropriate WP leader/s and SMAR3TS Management Team.
We invite you to watch this video which provides information about SMAR3TS, and how secondments are the main instrument to develop and progress Innovate3X's
What do secondments have to do with Innovate3X?
Secondments across the SMAR3TS Consortium are the key guiding instruments for guiding and empowering the ~24 Innovate3X, with other contributions through SMAR3TS events and other online activities (e.g. hackathons, workshops, showcase).
Overall, it is expected that each I3X will lead and enable approximately 10 person-months of secondments, from within, and across the Consortium (i.e. between the initiator of the I3X and partner contributors / between partner contributors).
Are you working full-time at a SMAR3TS Consortium Partner organisation, and involved in Research & Innovation?
Is your Institution keen on being the Initiator of an I3X?
Does your proposed I3X challenge align to 1 or more of SMAR3TS pillars of focus (Resilience, Restoration, Regeneration) AND align with 1 or more of SMAR3TS Work Packages?
Are you keen on undertaking a secondment and contribute to an I3X?
If the answer is YES to one or more of the above questions, we would love to hear from you to help you progress your thinking, answer any doubts and help guide you into the process - info@smar3ts.eu
