In collaboration with Tilburg University, we train academics in translating their research into impact practices.
Valorisation is a core task of universities. Researchers want to make an impact with their work but often lack the skills and opportunities to do so within their demanding schedules. While the need is high, the space for valorisation is limited.
A 6-month hands-on training 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 completed the program, resulting in start-ups (including ones with European Commission assignments), validated policy innovations, and public events that bring science to broader audiences. Most importantly, the program grows a community of researchers who want—and are able—to apply their work for societal benefit.
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.
