The dataset is related to the Horizon 2020 Una.Resin project Work Package 1 mapping exercise (Task 1.2) on Research & Innovation (R&I) strategies and strategic initiatives. This task was carried out from February to August 2021 by the University of Helsinki and Freie Universität Berlin. Questionnaire was targeted at the research professionals and policymakers at each of the eight Una Europa universities participating in the project (University of Edinburgh; University of Helsinki; University of Bologna; Complutense University of Madrid; Freie University Berlin; 3 Katholieke Universiteit Leuven; Jagiellonian University; Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) aiming to identify the complementary strengths, values, opportunities and barriers for the building the capacities for research collaboration in this alliance. Questionnaire helped us to understand specifically the university level strategic research themes or areas / thematic priorities, areas of excellence, multidisciplinary structures, strategic partnerships and the universities’ codes of conduct or other value-based regulations. The benchmarking served as a groundwork for development of the Una Europa R&I strategy that was launched in November 2023. Task was conducted together with the WP2 colleagues, who prepared the second part of the questionnaire benchmarking the existing strategies, policies and initiatives on research infrastructures. The WP2 has provided a separate dataset presenting the part 2 answers and curated by the University of Bologna. This dataset is available by request: a.franchini@unibo.it.
