Unite! IRIS

The Integrated Research and Innovation Services Network (IRIS) ntegrated by research and innovation support staff from each associated university, is a collaborative initiative within the framework of the Unite! alliance aimed at promoting international and multidisciplinary research among its members.

The main objective is to provide a series of joint research and innovation services for the alliance and its members and to act as a single point of contact for issues related to research and innovation management.


IRIS provides a list of joint research and innovation services, aimed at three target groups:

  • Unite! alliance as a whole: Strategic advice on European and national R&D&I policies and support in drafting strategic European proposals.
  • Unite! R&I Managers (RMAs): Networking opportunities among RMAs of the alliance and participation in training activities.
  • Unite! researchers: ICT services to promote R&D&I collaboration and support for face-to-face and online collaboration events.
