<< Objectives >>Our Erasmus+ project aims at reinforce the capacity of Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) in conducting applied research activities, specifically by better supporting the involvement of students in such activities and emphasise the opportunity this partnership represents for both teachers/researchers and students. In the end, we aim at increasing and strengthen the role of UAS in the knowledge society.<< Implementation >>We intend to identify best practices in the matter, develop a new training framework, publish a guidebook and a toolbox as concrete resources to support teachers, researchers and students to collaborate in research activities. International opportunities and gender dimension will also be integrated in our activities. We will also organise several events to train the staff on the subject and sensitise the UASs communities on the opportunity to liaising students and research activities.<< Results >>Concrete results of the project are multiple: creation of a new training framework, development of a guidebook, construction of the toolbox, organisation of national and transnational (networking) events. In the end, the effect of the project will be to create better conditions to integrate students in research activities and reinforce the partnership between teaching and research missions of UAS in a long-term perspective.
