Together with Tilburg University, we help PhDs translate their research into impact.
Valorisation is the third task of universities. Researchers also want to make an impact with their research, but sometimes lack the skills and opportunities to do so smoothly within their busy academic schedules. There is little room, but a great need for it.
A 6-month education and hands-on program for PhDs from all faculties who want to convert their research into propositions that have a positive impact on society. Researchers master the steps to make their individual research even more valuable. They also develop skills that help them in their own research and increase their valorisation capacity.
Dozens of PhDs have now followed the programme. This has led to new companies (with assignments for the European Commission, among others), validated policy innovations and events where science is translated to a wider audience. But above all, this program is growing the community of scientists who want and are able to apply their research for societal purposes and impact.
The method is structurally included as part of the Knowledge Transfer Office (KTO) of Tilburg University. This means that scientists are given the opportunity to valorise their research every year.
