The Blueprint will comprise the theoretical approach of the model by identifying and mainstreaming existent good practices and present the holistic approach and, at the same time, it will demonstrate a set of case studies after implementing the R&I Loop toolkits.

The project’s results

These results include the creation of two toolkits with the intent of designing, pilot-testing, and fine-tuning a set of resources aiming at supporting the R&I Loop twofold steps.

The toolkits will contain assessment tool, manual and materials as well as flash courses that will be replicated to other staff members of partners’ organizations to support the usage and uptake of the toolkits in the scope of a holistic approach:

Phase 2

Design of the Inception and outgrowing TOOLKIT
This toolkit aims to:

• Foster public engagement and enhance the outreach and impact of research activities and results at different levels.

Phase 3

Design of the Nurturing TOOLKIT
This toolkit aims to:
• Research-led/-oriented, linked to staff learning/presenting current research and developing research skills and techniques.
• Research-based/-tutored practices to be embedded in the curricula, linked to students learning how to do research and be a researcher as well as engaging in research discussions.
