Widening Knowledge Valorisation in University Alliances for Stronger 5.0 Industrial Ecosystems

Obiettivo

Universities are central actors in Europe’s innovation landscape, yet many still struggle to convert research excellence into tangible economic and societal value. This gap is especially visible in Widening countries, where knowledge valorisation practices, industry collaboration models and IP commercialisation pathways remain fragmented or insufficiently integrated into regional innovation ecosystems. Building on the institutional transformation momentum of two major European University Alliances — ECIU and EUt+ — the VALORWIDE project seeks to accelerate knowledge valorisation excellence across Widening regions and strengthen Europe’s capacity to compete globally in Industry 5.0 innovation.
VALORWIDE equips universities, technology transfer offices, researchers, and regional stakeholders with the skills, tools and organisational structures needed to deliver high-impact knowledge valorisation. Through four interconnected Industry Actions, the project will pilot and scale new approaches for industry-academia co-creation, digital and AI-supported IP management, open innovation challenges, and research-driven venture creation. These actions are complemented by a comprehensive training and capacity-building programme, institutional reforms aligned with COARA principles, and the creation of a shared Excellent Knowledge Valorisation Toolkit.
By leveraging the combined strengths of two university alliances and engaging a broad network of innovation intermediaries, VALORWIDE aims to generate a critical mass of Industry 5.0 innovation opportunities grounded in human-centric, sustainable, and resilient industrial transitions. The project will empower Widening universities to operate as stronger innovation partners, enhance regional competitiveness, and contribute to the ERA Policy Agenda by mainstreaming excellence in knowledge valorisation across Europe.
