ENLIGHT RISE - Deliverable 8.4 - Report on barriers and opportunities on R&I impact-driven agendas #1

This deliverable serves a double objective. First, it reports on the different public workshops, encounters, webinars, surveys, mapping exercises, interviews and meetings that served the collection and subsequent analysis of the barriers and opportunities for research impact-driven agendas. Secondly, it presents the results of the analysis of the different collected barriers, challenges, and opportunities to implement impact-driven research agendas. 

The identified barriers/challenges are grouped in 4 main areas: (1) low and different impact literacy levels; (2) lack of structures, capacities and resources; (3) low commitment levels: lack of strategy, leadership and recognition/appreciation; (4) different regional, national and institutional landscapes. 

The identified opportunities are grouped into 5 main areas: (1) momentum; (2) connectivity among university teams; (3) co-creation with societal stakeholders; (4) available capacities and resources; (5) ENLIGHT leadership and platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration 

The deliverable covers barriers and opportunities for both impact-driven research agendas at universities institutional level, and for common impact-driven research agendas among different institutions.
