TIME4CS TEAM

APRE – Agency for the Promotion of European Research – is a no-profit research organization with the mission to support and promote Italian participation in the European Union research and innovation (R&I) programmes, by providing information, education and assistance services. APRE supports the transition towards responsible and participative open research and innovation through analytical activities and practices in the field of RRI and co-creation methodologies. These include comparative analyses of co-creation cases in Europe and identification of best practices; tailored training for the research organizations and multi-actor dialogues and consultations with policymakers with a view of addressing specific challenges of research and innovation. APRE has a solid experience in executive management of national and EU funded projects, process monitoring (technical and financial) and in communication with European institutions.

APRE is the Coordinator of TIME4CS  responsible for the financial and administrative management of the project, and overall is involved in all tasks and activities of the project, providing general and day-to-day support to all partners and all Work Packages. APRE is also leader of WP3 on Knowledge Transfer and Mutual Learning programme between TIME4CS Front-Runners and Implementers.  

The Knowledge Transfer and Mutual Learning is paramount in TIME4CS methodology. The continuous exchange between the partners is indeed the basis for the development of the actions described in the tailored roadmaps of each implementing organization. The whole exchange programme is aimed at facilitating the sharing of experience via both physical meetings (e.g. learning visits, workshops) and digital interactions (webinars, platform for discussion) and it will last throughout the whole duration of the project.
