  3. About the project PARENIS (Program Advancing Research Education and Exploitation for the Support of National Innovation Systems) is a European Union funded 3-years TEMPUS project aiming at supporting national innovation systems by advancing the capabilities of partner countries universities in doing research and getting value from it. Regina Grussenmeyer

  4. Objectives This overall aim leads to the following specific objectives: To increase the quality and quantity of research output of partner universities. To initiate a continuous process of collaboration on research and innovation between partner universities and local enterprises.

  7. PARENIS – Project Consortium (3/3)

  8. Priorities & Targets • Priorities: • higher education and society, in particular on the knowledge triangle:  education-innovation-research  • partnerships with enterprises • Education targets: • introduce research methodology courses, which are a necessary condition to produce high quality research • focus on the valorization of research results • aims to equip universities with appropriate tools to strengthen collaboration with local industry in the domains of research exploitation and innovation

  9. The scientificresearch The goal ofscientificresearch:  to createknowledge (structured, accessible and durable information).

  12. The two phases of the project PARENIS develops a two phases program. • In the first phase, PARENIS implements five research methodology courses for Master and PhD programs, focused on enhancing master and PhD students’ capabilities of doing and writing good research. After this, students will be involved in European research teams to put the methodologies into practice. • In the second phase, PARENIS creates mechanisms and procedures that intensify research collaborations between academia and industry. To this aim, the project will: • promote spaces in which industries can outline research needs to discuss with universities in order to define agendas for collaborative work; • launches a research transfer office in every partner university to ensure a permanent university-enterprise linkage.

  13. Phase 1: Research Methodology Courses (1/2) Five courses of 20 hours (5 days per 4 hours/day) held by EU lecturers: • L1 - General Research Methodologies (methodology types, design of objectives, how to do research), held at Université El Manar - EcoleNationaled’Ingénieurs de Tunis; • L2 - Basics and Methods of Quantitative Research (simulation, survey, data analysis), held at Université El Manar - EcoleNationaled’Ingénieurs de Tunis; • L3 - Basics and Methods of Qualitative Research (qualitative data analysis, single/multiple case studies), held Université de Tunis - EcoleSupérieure des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales; • L4 - Management of Research for Publication (writing for publication, presentation and communication skills), held at Université de Sousse - EcoleNationaled’Ingénieurs de Sousse. • L5 - Application of research methodologies in information systems research, held at Université de Sfax - EcoleNationaled’Ingénieurs de Sfax.

  14. Phase 1: Mobility phase (2/2) After courses, students will be involved in the subsequent mobility phase. In the mobility phase, PhD students will integrate European research teams to put the learned methods into practice and to work on quality papers to be submitted to conferences or international journals.

  16. Phase 2: Workshops and Innovation Labs (1/2) Workshops to discuss the requirements on successful collaboration between science and industry in Tunisia and Morocco will be organized. They will involve experts from academia and industry, decision makers from different institutions such as ministry, chamber of commerce, etc. Innovation labs represent a research platform, in which innovation managers and academics meet to share relevant experiences and scientific approaches. They will be at the origin of networks between institutions such as universities, enterprises, and research centers, to boost collaborative research and to transfer inventions to marketable products. Innovation labs will be organized on a regular basis during the project life time.

  17. Phase 2: Offices for Research Exploitation and Marketing and Online Platform (2/2) • Offices for the Exploitation and Marketing of Research will be founded in Tunisian and Moroccan university, to ensure a permanent university-enterprise linkage. • An Online Virtual Platform will finally be implemented to guarantee a long-term impact of the project. The research methodology courses will be recorded and posted on this platform. This platform will also create a virtual space to boost collaboration among partner universities, EU universities, and local industry.
