Workshop 1
A course that explain how to do correclty a research following different methodologies to create a strenght structure for conduct a research. We talked about different topics, let me show you below all of those.
EU framework
Horizon Europe A funding programe focusing on a Research and Innovation. Horizon Europe is designed to facilitate collaboration and strengthen the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting, and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports the creation and better dispersal of excellent knowledge and technologies, creating jobs, fully engaging the EU’s talent pool, boosting economic growth, promoting industrial competitiveness, and optimizing investment impact within a strengthened European Research Area.
This programe is based on:
Technological basis
Sustainable development goals
bost competitiveness and growth
Horizon Europe, is structured around four main pillars, each focusing on different aspects of research and innovation. Here's a brief overview of each pillar:
Pilar 1: Excellent Science: This pillar aims to strengthen the EU's scientific and technological base by funding frontier research and fostering excellence in research institutions. It supports initiatives such as the European Research Council (ERC) and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), which encourage mobility and career development for researchers.
Pilar 2: Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness: This pillar focuses on tackling societal challenges, such as health, climate change, energy transition, and digital transformation. By promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, it seeks to develop innovative solutions that can enhance the EU's industrial competitiveness while addressing key issues facing society.
Pilar 3: Innovative Europe: This pillar aims to stimulate the development of breakthrough innovations and support the growth of innovative startups and SMEs. It includes the European Innovation Council (EIC), which provides funding and support for high-risk, high-reward projects.
Pilar 4: European Research Area (ERA): This pillar focuses on expanding participation and strengthening the European Research Area, which is crucial for the EU's competitiveness and growth. It includes programs for thematically non-specified funding, such as the funding of science-driven basic research by the European Research Council (ERC), the networking of existing research infrastructures, and mobility grants for young researchers (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, MSCA).
EU Green Deal The EU Green Deal is a comprehensive strategy aimed at making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, focusing on sustainable economic growth and environmental protection. Kick start the transition towards a sustainable economy and societies.
zero emissions
split economies
inclusion
improving health and well-being
trasformative politics
New European Bauhaus A creative and interdisciplinary initiative aimed at promoting beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive living spaces across Europe, connecting the European Green Deal with architectural and urban design. Design with a design perspective, aims to engage people by providing tools and offering solutions, all this action are centered to create more inclusion and incorporation in the society. The tree main key words of the new europen bauhaus are: sustainability, aestecics and inclusion.
Framework
The framework of your research is a tool for understanding the problem as much yoou can deep in it. It's as describing a challange we want to adress and solve in the relation of an exisisting context. My research framework is the first step to create an impact.
The first thing to do is to understand the current state of affairs. Adding the knowledge by having a good research structure that could push the gap of the knowledge about a determinate topic (in which you're working on it). Also you have tools, as survey and social media to reach qualitative and quantitative data.

Structure
Objectives: The goals of the work performed within the project, in terms of its research and innovation content. This will be translated into the project’s activities. These may range from tackling specific research questions, demonstrating the feasibility of an innovation, sharing knowledge among stakeholders on specific issues. The nature of the objectives will depend on the type of action, and the scope of the topic.
Results: What is generated during the project implementation. This may include, for example, know-how, innovative solutions, algorithms, proof of feasibility, new business models, policy recommendations, guidelines, prototypes, demonstrators, databases and datasets, trained researchers, new infrastructures, networks, etc. Most project results (inventions, scientific works, etc) are ‘Intellectual Property’, which may, if appropriate, be protected by formal ‘Intellectual Property Rights’. Example: Successful large-scale demonstrator: trial with 3 airports of an advanced forecasting system for proactive airport passenger flow management.
Outcomes: The expected effects, over the medium term, of projects supported under a given topic. The results of a project should contribute to these outcomes, fostered in particular by the dissemination and exploitation measures (including the uptake, diffusion, deployment, and/or use of the project’s results by direct target groups). Outcomes generally occur during or shortly after the end of the project. Example: 9 European airports adopt the advanced forecasting system demonstrated during the project.
Research Output: Results generated by the action to which access can be given in the form of scientific publications, data or other engineered outcomes and processes such as software, algorithms, protocols and electronic notebooks.
Milestone: Control points in the project that help to chart progress. Milestones may correspond to the achievement of a key result, allowing the next phase of the work to begin. They may also be needed at intermediary points so that, if problems have arisen, corrective measures can be taken. A milestone may be a critical decision point in the project where, for example, the consortium must decide which of several technologies to adopt for further development. The achievement of a milestone should be verifiable.
Critical Risk: A critical risk is a plausible event or issue that could have a high adverse impact on the ability of the project to achieve its objectives. Level of likelihood to occur (Low/medium/high): The likelihood is the estimated probability that the risk will materialise even after taking account of the mitigating measures put in place. Level of severity (Low/medium/high): The relative seriousness of the risk and the significance of its effect.
Impacts: Wider long term effects on society (including the environment), the economy and science, enabled by the outcomes of R&I investments (long term). It refers to the specific contribution of the project to the work programme expected impacts described in the destination. Impacts generally occur some time after the end of the project. Example: The deployment of the advanced forecasting system enables each airport to increase maximum passenger capacity by 15% and passenger average throughput by 10%, leading to a 28% reduction in infrastructure expansion costs.
State of art
Criteria for select projetcs/artifacts to compare what are you doing with what is exist yet. But also this, is really relevant have one huge state of art for understanding the "Scientific Interest", by this conceptualization you are able to push the body of the scientific knowledge; because your state of art explain that ther is a gap in which you should focus and push it.
Impacts
How is innovation defined? It's not just an invention but also something that give values to an action or a systems or a workflow by solving a specific problem more than one time.
Product innovation
Process innovation
Social innovation
Marketing innovation
Organizational innovation
Impacts must be: wider longer or shorter term on society, direct or indirect impact and did you change the way in which a process is run? Did you influence policy? Did you create a new workflow?

Research question
Is the addition between statment and research.
statment should be specif and clear should be novel, push the boundaries of novel should be relevant should be analytical should be researcheable
research topic issue target solutions + methods outcome + impact who
Research methodologies
Aim: is an action that you use as way of inquiring and questioning
Objectivies: milestones you are going to go about achieving your aim meseareable aim outcomes it should be specific your research not for every big topic research. It should be specific, meseaureable, achievable, realistic and time constrained.
The aim and the objectivies are not different things, yust say it in different way
