We are proud to announce that ESiWACE3 has contributed to a newly published white paper titled “Guidance and Best Practices for European Centres of Excellence (CoEs)”, now available on Zenodo.
This comprehensive document brings together practical frameworks, lessons learned, and actionable recommendations for strengthening the sustainability, innovation potential, and societal impact of Centres of Excellence across Europe. It is aimed at a wide audience, including project coordinators, innovation managers, policymakers, and business developers involved in EU-funded research and innovation.
As a contributing CoE, ESiWACE3 shared its experience and methodologies in managing complex HPC infrastructures, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and building pathways for long-term sustainability. The guidance includes insights into tools such as the Business Model Canvas, strategies for ecosystem development, and reproducible approaches to commercialization—many of which have been informed by our work and lessons learned throughout the ESiWACE project series.
We encourage our community to explore the white paper and consider how its findings can support the continued evolution of high-impact research centres in Europe.
