The question on action and interaction between the different Thematic Interest Groups (TIGs) in the Alliance STARS EU has been discussed for a while within our alliance. TIGs are the form for thematic cross-boundary, interdisciplinary research and knowledge creation that the STARS EU alliance has created. The Challenge Lab within the alliance has initiated a special series of seminars/workshops where all TIG participants from our universities could meet. The seminar series have been running once a month from December 2022. Since then, 6 TIGs have been introduced already, namely:

• Entrepreneurship and Innovation (Dec 6, 2022)
• Arts and Creative Industries (Jan 10, 2023)
• Energy Transition (Feb 7, 2023)
• Circular Economy (Mar 7, 2023)
• Healthy Ageing (Apr 4, 2023)
• Living Spaces (June 20, 2023)

The seminars are hosted at University West (as Lead for Challenge Lab) and run at Zoom platform. Kindly accept our invitation for the last seminar on Digital Transformation, taking place on September 12, 2023 15:00 – 16:00 CEST. Link to the zoom meeting: https://hv-se.zoom.us/my/stars.eu.seminars
