More than a formal inauguration, this event is designed as a collective momentum to introduce the INVEST Centre of Excellence in Research, Development & Innovation’s strategic vision, present its ambition and actions, and spark the first steps of long-lasting collaboration between academia, policy-makers, civil society, and industry.

 What is the INVEST Centre of Excellence?

The INVEST Centre of Excellence in Research, Developement & Innovation is coordinated by the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne within the INVEST European University Alliance. Its ambition is to establish a collaborative research initiative for joint excellence to answer regional sustainability challenges.
The Centre already gathers more than 150 researchers from the 7 INVEST universities across the 7 research clusters.

 Why should you participate?

The launch of the INVEST Centre of Excellence marks a defining milestone for the INVEST alliance and its shared commitment to driving sustainability-focused and transdisciplinary research and innovation across European regions.

This launch event is not only the formal start of a Centre—it is the activation of a shared space for innovation, dialogue, and collective ambition, positioning the INVEST CoE as a European driver for excellence with regional roots and global impact.
