University expertise for Horizon Europe cooperation – Digital, Sustainability, SSH and Innovation

The University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava (UCM), Slovakia, is a multidisciplinary public university interested in joining Horizon Europe consortia and developing new international research and innovation partnerships.

UCM brings together expertise across natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, communication and media studies, public policy, education and innovation.

Our relevant capabilities include:

• AI/ML, distributed and parallel computing, networked and IoT systems and digital technologies;
• sustainability, climate adaptation and resilience, environmental research and nature-based approaches;
• social sciences and humanities (SSH), governance, public policy and societal dimensions of innovation;
• stakeholder mapping, engagement, participatory approaches and co-creation;
• communication, media, public engagement and science communication;
• education, capacity building and development of learning resources;
• regional development and cooperation with municipalities, public authorities, civil society and other territorial stakeholders;
• dissemination, exploitation, impact and knowledge transfer.

UCM has experience in Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, Interreg and other European and international programmes and works with academic, public-sector, civil-society and regional partners.

We are particularly interested in joining emerging Horizon Europe consortia where our interdisciplinary expertise can complement technological partners and strengthen the societal, environmental, governance, stakeholder engagement, communication and impact dimensions of proposals.

We are also open to discussing new project concepts and longer-term cooperation with universities, research organisations, companies, public authorities and other innovation actors.
