KnowVAlTE

A technology transfer officer opens a shared drive of slide decks and toolkits yet cannot see a clear path from results to services and solutions. KnowValTE starts here and removes friction. It gives professionals and institutions a clear view of where they stand on four EU Codes of Practice and what to do next. The current landscape is fragmented: training materials exist, but they are scattered, generic, and disconnected from daily valorisation practice. Services are uneven across Europe, with limited uptake in widening regions and little attention to inclusiveness. KnowValTE fills this gap by creating a coherent, demand-driven framework that builds competences, upgrades institutional services, and embeds systemic change. It delivers three strands of action. First, a dual self-assessment tool and pathway-based curricula equip KTO/TTO professionals, researchers and students with tailored skills and provide incentives. Second, co-designed Service Clinics and mentoring generate ready-to-adopt blueprints for responsible licensing, spin-off support, citizen engagement and standardisation, piloted in institutional contexts. Third, open KV-HUB consolidates all outputs under clear reuse terms, sustained through a Community of Practice, targeted policy briefs and leadership engagement. Inclusiveness and responsible practice are embedded throughout, ensuring contributions to ERA Action 7 and Codes of Practice. By replacing fragmented resources with clear roadmaps, reusable training, and tested services, KnowValTE enhances professional skills, upgrades institutional offers, and creates curricula for students and researchers that remain after project. Consortium unites coordination strength, university–industry and KT networks, a national standards body, citizen engagement and IP expertise, ensuring a shift from fragmented, one-off activities to routine, standards-aware valorisation with trained people, tested services, and a living hub and community that sustain improvement.
