Successful Valorisation of Knowledge and Research Results in Horizon Europe

Valorising research results and scientific knowledge is key to delivering new solutions that benefit society and economy. Proficient intellectual property (IP) management is one of the major facilitators (in fact, prerequisites) of enhanced knowledge valorisation, which ensures additional value is created from projects funded under the EU’s current Framework Programme for Research and Innovation “Horizon Europe”. This guide helps clarify different concepts and terminology by briefly introducing key pillars of the EU’ knowledge valorisation policy before illustrating the differences between communication, dissemination and exploitation activities as well as the areas they have in common. Intended as an introduction, it aims to provide orientation for developing your project’s outreach and exploitation strategy.
