    • mutualizing resources for skills and career development
    • Supporting research collaborations
  • to support the promotion of talent through a shared approach to skill upgrading, career development and common training programs.
    • Expansion of the Young Leaders Academy
    • Action plans for common doctoral and postdoctoral training programmes
  • to develop a common long-term EUTOPIA Human Resource strategy; key issues being:
