The journey from innovation to impact - a guide to research valorisation

Valorisation is one of the core tasks of knowledge institutes, but what does it entail? Why is it crucial for researchers? Why is patent protection important for your inventions? And if you have an innovation that can make an impact, what steps should you take? Join us to explore these questions and learn how to turn your research into real-world solutions. We'll highlight examples from your field and explain how our services can help you maximise the impact of your work.
