Awareness raising campaign to boost knowledge valorisation

Commissioner Maria Gabriel announced in the Competitiveness Council on 2 December 2022 that DG Research and Innovation is launching an Awareness raising campaign to promote the Recommendation on the guiding principles for knowledge valorisation and the two upcoming Codes of practice on the management of intellectual assets and standardisation.

The campaign is envisaged to start in spring 2023 and run for 18 months. An important part of the campaign is a “Tour des capitales” consisting of dedicated national events hosted by Member States. 

21 countries and 9 ERA stakeholders have committed to the implementation of ERA action 7 and therefore the European Commission is now inviting stakeholders to engage in the organisation and rolling out of the “Tour des capitales” in Member States.

A call for expression of interest to join the European Union campaign to boost knowledge valorisation is published on the dedicated Knowledge Valorisation Platform. The call is open until 22 January 2023.

More information can be found here, and a promotional video here.

Get involved and apply before 22 January 2023.

The European Commission is happy to discuss the concept and objectives of the “Tour des capitales” and agree on the possible dates of the events.
