    • About ENCARE

      ENCARE aims to strengthen and expand the competences of researchers and science support staff at European UASs for the successful development, application and implementation of EU-funded projects. The project partners jointly want to develop and implement a cross-university capacity building programme for UAS staff in order to counter the external pressure to acquire third-party funding for research with skills development.

      Impact

      ENCARE will lead to increased capacity in grant writing at UASs in Europe. In particular, it increases researchers’ and lecturers’ capacities regarding development of successful RDI projects. These capacities will help to foster international collaboration and to increase the number of RDI projects at partner universities in the long term. As a result, research at universities of applied sciences is becoming more visible and the overall significance of research at this type of university is increasing.
