BETTER Life Bringing Excellence to Transformative Engaged Research in Life Sciences through Integrated Digital Centres

About us

At BETTER Life, our aim is to revolutionize Life Sciences research through active social engagement. We are dedicated to fostering Socially Engaged Research within chosen Quadruple Helix actors and advocating this concept among Early Career Researchers. We achieve this by crafting pioneering standards, toolkits, and establishing integrated Regional and National Digital Centers.

Mission

BETTER Life project’s mission is to establish EU Digital Centers of Excellence in Socially Engaged Research within Life Sciences across partner countries. These centers will serve as inter-institutional support hubs, nurturing the capabilities of early career researchers, including PhD students and those not yet fully independent. The primary goal is to cultivate socially engaged research initiatives that address societal challenges within their respective ecosystems. Simultaneously, these efforts aim to position the EU BETTER Life Center as a global benchmark in planning, facilitating, and executing SER (Socially Engaged Research) within life sciences. By focusing on research engagement and collaboration, the EU BETTER Life Digital Centers aim to create profound and widespread impact among diverse stakeholders within the surrounding ecosystems.

Our Vision

Socially Engaged Research stands as a cornerstone in fostering social cohesion by advocating a participatory approach toward addressing regional and societal challenges. By involving diverse stakeholders—ranging from local communities and governmental bodies to academic institutions and industry partners—this collaborative framework not only identifies but actively seeks solutions to multifaceted issues within our communities.
Through inclusive dialogue and participative methodologies, Socially Engaged Research strives to empower communities by acknowledging their insights, needs, and aspirations. It acts as a catalyst for collective action, promoting a sense of ownership and shared responsibility in tackling challenges that affect the fabric of society.
