Connecting UNIMORE SSH Researchers for Cluster 2 Collaboration

Research Manager - Pre Grant Officer at University of Modena and Reggio Emilia

Modena, Italy

About

As Research Manager at UNIMORE, I support networking and partnership-building for the University’s SSH departments, with the aim of increasing participation in high-quality collaborative research projects under Horizon Europe Cluster 2. I am interested in connecting with universities, research centres, public bodies, cultural institutions and other stakeholders developing proposals in areas such as culture, heritage, democracy, inclusion, education and broader social challenges. I am particularly keen to engage with partners at an early stage of consortium building, to identify complementary expertise, shape competitive proposals and strengthen the SSH dimension of project ideas.UNIMORE brings solid experience in European research and project development. UNIMORE’s portfolio includes 117 projects under Horizon 2020, of which 18 are coordinated by UNIMORE, 63 involve UNIMORE as partner, 35 as third party, and 1 as associate. Under Horizon Europe, UNIMORE is involved in more than 80 projects: 20 coordinated by UNIMORE, 43 as partner, 13 as third party, and 4 as associate partner. In addition, more than 100 projects have been supported through other European and international funding programmes. I would be glad to connect with potential coordinators, consortium partners and stakeholders interested in building strong Cluster 2 proposals with meaningful SSH contributions
