disciplinary, (3) intersectoral, (4) innovative, (5) impactful and (6) inclusive. 2. Secondly, to analyse key aspects of the practical implementation of the model at a higher education institution: in this case the University of Deusto 2. By analysing process indicators and outcomes, this paper focuses on a. the evolution of the implementation of the "6i Research Model" over the last decade and how it has been sustained in practice; b. the results produced; and c. the changes which the institution has undergone to accommodate and support the evolving model. Focusing on the implementation of the "6i Research Model" model at the University of Deusto, the second part will respond to the following research questions: 1. How did the "6i Research Model" evolve over time and how has it been sustained? 2. What kind of impact on institutional change did the model involve in terms of structures and resources, mechanisms, initiatives and outputs? and 3. Is Deusto steadily evolving into a research ecosystem for impactful research excellence, while adopting the "6i Research Model"? Based on lessons learned, we will draw some conclusions for future applications and scaling up the model to other higher education institutions. A MULTIFACETED MODEL Building collaborative inter-and trans-disciplinary communities requires deep reflection and a clear, well-planned strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
