What is the EUNICE JOL?
The Joint Open Lab (JOL) is a strategic initiative of the EUNICE alliance that unites the resources of its partner universities—such as cutting-edge research infrastructure, state-of-the-art facilities, and expert knowledge—and makes them accessible to international stakeholders. At its core, JOL supports the "company on campus" model, encouraging close collaboration between academia and industry. This integrated approach creates an open platform where innovation thrives, and partnerships flourish. The EUNICE JOL hub is dedicated to:
Driving regional engagement and cross-border cooperation
Stimulating innovation and entrepreneurial activity
Strengthening local and regional ecosystems through shared knowledge and resources
Supporting sustainable growth across the EUNICE alliance and beyond
By building bridges between academia, industry, and the public sector, JOL serves as a catalyst for impactful research and development. The EIR platform provides dynamic support for Research and Technology initiatives, connecting academia, public sector, and industry for international project applications. It promotes opportunities like Erasmus Mundus, KICs-EIT, and Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. Registered users receive alerts for relevant calls, enhancing project scouting and collaboration.
