INSIGHT, a three-year Horizon project, supports researchers, universities, industry partners, and policy makers in creating inclusive talent ecosystems that prepare Europe for the digital and green transitions.
The challenge
Across Europe, researchers often begin their careers without clear pathways or the support needed to build a stable future. Institutions are working to align with the new Charter for Researchers, but many lack the tools to turn its principles into daily practice. INSIGHT brings stakeholders together to improve mobility, recognition, and meaningful career development.
What INSIGHT does
Talent ecosystems
Creating environments where researchers move across sectors and gain skills that match labour market needs.
Training and mentoring
Delivering tailored learning pathways, mentoring programmes, and career support.
Organisational development
Helping institutions embed Charter principles through better progression pathways and working conditions.
Policy insight and impact
Providing evidence and recommendations for national and European talent policy.
Pathways for each audience
Develop skills, gain visibility
Develop skills, gain visibility, and join meaningful pilot activities.
Universities and research organisations
Strengthen support structures and align with the Charter for Researchers.
HR managers and institutional leaders
Access capacity building and tools that turn Charter principles into practice.
Industry partners
Collaborate with talent, co-design training, and shape future skills.
Policy makers and public bodies
Receive evidence and recommendations grounded in real institutional and researcher experiences.
Pilot and activities
INSIGHT will test its approach through a pilot focused on human factors in technology acceptance in the automotive and manufacturing sectors. Researchers, companies, and public actors will collaborate through workshops, virtual co-creation sessions, and training pathways. Insights from the pilot will shape tools and recommendations used across Europe.
Consortium
INSIGHT is delivered by a European partnership combining strengths in research careers, digital transformation, human factors, and ecosystem development.
