Bridging the FET Innovation Gap

Project description

Supporting researchers to keep innovation engine humming

Future and emerging technologies (FET) promise to renew the basis for European competitiveness and growth. To ensure this high-gain innovation engine stays humming, it’s important to translate research excellence into tangible innovation potential. This is the aim of the EU-funded BRIEFING project. It will leverage different ways of exploiting FET research. For instance, it will support researchers in their innovation exploration and foster the connection between the worlds of researchers and different business stakeholder groups. The project will be based on a flexible system of support tools and services that allows for a tailor-made approach to the diverse needs of the different stakeholder groups.

Objective

"“BRIEFING – Bridging the FET Innovation Gap“ facilitates the translation of European research excellence into tangible innovative potential and therefore contributes to the renewal of the basis for future European competitiveness and growth. BRIEFING leverages different ways of exploiting FET research by supporting researchers in their innovation exploration and fostering the connection between the worlds of researchers and different business stakeholder groups. In this respect, the proposal addresses sub-topic ""b. FET Innovation"" of the FET Open CSA Call.

BRIEFING is based on a flexible system of support tools and services that allows for a tailor-made approach to the diverse needs of the different stakeholder groups. In order to ensure this, the range of support services that will be offered to FET researchers can be specifically tailored to the individual demands and includes business and communication trainings as well as matchmaking tools and events, which altogether will be administered through a dedicated online marketplace.

The BRIEFING consortium provides the manifold expertise to respond to the diverse stakeholder needs, bringing together innovation service providers backed by large SME networks with a renowned research institution. The partners’ experiences span the provision of innovation services and the dynamisation of innovation ecosystems as well as the involvement of relevant stakeholders from the research and business world. Three subcontracting clusters will append additional business expertise and involvement in key industries."
