Introduction for individual services
The widerAdvance Facility offers a suite of tailored services designed to support research teams (RTs) and research management administrations (RMAs) in advancing their Key Exploitable Results (KERs) towards real-world impact. These services are delivered free of charge to selected beneficiaries and are provided by experts from across Europe.
Dissemination & Exploitation Academy
The Dissemination & Exploitation Academy is a structured service created to strengthen the impact of research results by equipping participants with practicaltools and methodologies for effective exploitation and dissemination. The service includes collective interactive workshops and personalised expert coaching. Participants learn how to define the unique value proposition of their KERs, engage with potential early adopters, and build solid dissemination and exploitation strategies. The Academy offers a practical approach to develop a market-oriented thinking and prepare for future investment or collaboration opportunities.
Support with Intangible Assets
Support with Intangible Assets offers personalised assistance to help beneficiaries protect, manage, and commercialise their Intellectual Property (IP) through two customised pathways:
- IP Strategy and Path to Commercialisation
Definition of a solid IP protection and commercialisation strategy through patentability analysis, market and competitor research, and IP valuation.
- IP Commercialisation and Negotiations
Includes the design of negotiation strategies, support with term sheets and licensing agreements, practical training and in-person support during live negotiation meetings.
Support with Standardisation
Transferring research results to a standards-setting organisation can increase their value, extend exploitation, spur innovation and transform these results into marketable solutions. Support with Standardisation is a specialised service designed to facilitate this and to streamline the dialogue of beneficiaries with the standardisation landscape and its main actors, namely corresponding Standards Developing Organisations (SDOs). This service offers free one-to-one coaching and training webinars for organisations seeking guidance on standardisation-related aspects of their research projects.
Preparation to Match with Third Parties
Preparation To Match with Third Parties is a capacity building programme enabling beneficiaries to effectively present their KERs to various target audience segments. The service includes collective interactive workshops, individual coaching, and practicing sessions to prepare for matchmaking events. Participants are supported to develop strong pitching decks and videos and improve communication skills.
