Zusammenfassung

This book brings together the work carried out by a team of researchers from the member universities of UNIC European University of Post-Industrial Cities, within the framework of the EU Horizon UNIC4ER project, towards a collaborative approach and a committed research strategy. It proposes the need to generate City Ecosystems of Transformative Innovation, in which universities collaborate with institutions, companies, social entities and anonymous citizens, to address the environmental, economic, social and cultural challenges of the cities, territories and communities in which they are located. To this end, it is proposed to establish an Engaged Research Strategy that integrates the projects, structures and processes of engaged research. And it is proposed to evolve towards a UniverCity Engagement Strategy that incorporates engaged teaching-learning and engaged research-knowledge in an integrated and transformative action. After the conceptual delimitation of the proposal, a Mapping of the most relevant inspiring practices generated around universities and the cities in which they are located is carried out. It concludes with a series of recommendations for the implementation of a UniverCity Engagement Strategy and the progressive configuration of a City Ecosystem of Transformative Innovation.
