Programmes Enhancing EU R&I SwafSThis 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 UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
