Crowdhelix Webinar | Knowledge Valorisation and Exploitation Planning: Turning HE Research Into Real-World Impact
seminars, workshops |
Excellent research is only half the challenge, turning it into real-world outcomes is where many Horizon Europe projects fall short. The Commission's own interim evaluation found that only around a third of patented inventions registered by European universities and research institutions ever reach the market. The ERA Policy Agenda 2025 –2027 has responded by making knowledge valorisation a structural policy priority, with a commitment to scaling capacity across Europe.
That pressure starts at proposal stage, not after the project ends. The Impact criterion is where proposals most often lose marks, with evaluators repeatedly flagging the same issue: applicants confusing project results with project impact, and covering too few impact dimensions. From 2026, the Impact section of the application form has been streamlined, a deliberate shift in how evaluators are expected to read and assess impact pathways.
This session cuts through the complexity of exploitation planning, from writing a credible impact narrative at proposal stage to building a practical valorisation roadmap that holds up through the project lifecycle and beyond.
