This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the initiatives and projects funded under Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe linked to Action 4 and Action 17 of the ERA policy agenda. These actions are pivotal in enhancing the skills of researchers and research managers across Europe, thereby strengthening the overall European R&I ecosystem.
The report reviews 16 projects, showcasing their goals, methods and results, with a focus on skills such as open science, entrepreneurship and innovation, to foster a flexible research workforce. It also examines skill development within the alliances, which play a key role in piloting frameworks for research careers and competencies, emphasising the enhancement of human capital in R&I.
Furthermore, the role of research managers has gained prominence in the last years, with initiatives aimed at enhancing their skills and the related professional rewarding and recognition.
Recommendations in this report advocate for the use of ResearchComp to centralise and link dedicated skills training courses to competencies and proficiency levels, fostering skills development and recognition for researchers at all career stages. Recommendations also address the promotion of the integration and connection between ResearchComp and the upcoming research managers’ competence framework. The aim is to share methodologies, support cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration, and validate, formalise and value researchers’ and research managers’ skills.

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
