Creating Value from Knowledge

Innovation is a term used a lot in the context of research funding, not least now in Horizon 2020, but for many researchers without business experience what this means in practice can pose something of a mystery. This workshop aims to provide a practical understanding of what is involved in translating knowledge, or ideas, into something that can create wealth or opportunity for wider use. Participants will learn to relate to business thinking and to understand what it takes to exploit research results. We will look at the processes and roles involved, from the creation of ideas through to developing business plans. We will explore how the participant’s own research can be ‘valorised’, and consider what support structures are available at universities and research organisations to support innovation. The workshop is designed for researchers intending to apply for public funding, but may also be useful for funding advisors who need to know about the practical side to proposal preparation.

The language of presentations will be English.
