Promoting the exploitation of scientific knowledge through academia industry cooperation in the Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy in Europe and beyond (KNOWLEDGE2INNOVATION)
Description:
Knowledge2Innovation aims at stimulating and supporting the knowledge transfer process between academia and industry in Europe, and beyond. The project involves a consortium of 9 participants, experienced in knowledge transfer with complementary skills, covering 7 EU countries.

All material will be made available through the project s own resources and via cooperation with established technology transfer networks and major relevant KBBE stakeholders. The project will proceed in 4 steps: - Mapping of existing resources, tools, etc., for the support of knowledge transfer, as well as identification and analysis of the specific expectations, needs and problems of researchers and SMEs in the process (study sample: 180 representatives of the agro-food and forestry sectors) - Development of a suitable toolkit containing a funding opportunities database, a knowledge communication & marketing tool, a knowledge-potential evaluation tool and a knowledge transfer post evaluation tool. Tools will be refined via a focus group of external experts (EU & non-EU)
