Strategic management of research results
Would you like to better understand how your research can create value beyond publications?
In the course Strategic Management of Research Results, you will explore how research results, methods, data and other knowledge assets can be identified, managed and developed for use beyond academia. The course introduces key concepts in innovation, valorisation and intellectual property, helping you take control of your research outcomes and strengthen their potential to create societal impact.
From research results to societal impact
As a researcher, you continuously generate new results, methods, data and insights. Understanding how these knowledge assets can be identified, managed and developed strengthens both your research and your ability to contribute to innovation and societal impact.
Over three interactive seminars, you will work with your own research through exercises, discussion and reflection alongside other doctoral students and researchers.
The course is designed for doctoral students and researchers from all disciplines and requires no prior knowledge of innovation, patents or intellectual property.
What you will gain
- Tools for identifying knowledge assets within your research
- A basic understanding of intellectual property, patents and ownership issues
- New perspectives on how research results can create value and societal impact
- Methods for assessing opportunities for further development and valorisation
- Greater understanding of how research results can be moved towards practical application beyond academia
- A network of doctoral students and researchers exploring similar questions
