CONNECT by YERUN – A platform for collaborative research among YERUN members

CONNECT by YERUN is a centralised digital resource that facilitates collaboration, data access, and networking for researchers and research management teams across YERUN (Young European Research Universities Network) institutions, of which NOVA is part of. By offering tailored tools for both researchers and managers, the platform is a vital part of YERUN’s mission to foster open science and cross-disciplinary research throughout Europe.

The platform is available to all researchers and research managers within the YERUN network, including teaching and research staff affiliated to NOVA (to access the platform, users are required to have an ORCID ID and have their email publicly visible on ORCID).

For Researchers: CONNECT by YERUN is a gateway to a wider professional network, enabling researchers to explore new project possibilities, find collaborators across Europe, and increase the impact of their work. The platform’s data insights and matchmaking tools simplify the process of initiating and maintaining productive partnerships.
For Research Managers: CONNECT by YERUN equips research managers with essential tools to oversee and support research activities within their institutions. From tracking ongoing projects to aligning with funding calls, research managers can use the platform to streamline their strategies and facilitate collaboration.

Comprehensive data access: access to an extensive repository of data on YERUN members’ EU project participation and publication history.
