The Synergy action for Teaming Centres of Excellence (CoE) aims to ensure the sustainability of CoE funded under the Teaming calls. By fostering stronger long-term collaboration and strategic joint initiatives among Centres of Excellence, the grant seeks to enhance mutual learning, resource sharing, and collective research and innovation capacity. The initiative promotes multidisciplinary and transnational cooperation among CoE to address critical European and global challenges, supports strategic transformation of research and innovation systems, and advances policy priorities of the European Research Area (ERA), such as responsible AI, knowledge valorisation, and entrepreneurship. The grant encourages engagement between CoE and industry, policymakers, and society to increase visibility, leverage additional funding, and create economic and societal impact.
