Have you got brilliant research but don't know how to bring it to market or society? Our solution: the Valorisation Academy!

Whether it's a new invention, a groundbreaking method, or just an idea, we provide you with the tools and insights to successfully unlock your research to business.

The Valorisation Academy is a powerful series of lectures where we not only immerse you in the secrets of valorisation but also inspire you with practical examples. You'll learn the theory and have the opportunity to apply this knowledge directly to your own research results, turning them into something tangible. Think of transfer, licences, or even starting your own spin-off.
The lectures will take 2 to 3 hours.
Our goal is simple: to teach you which research can be valorised and how. By the end of this programme, you'll be able to assess the potential of your research and convince everyone with your elevator pitch.
This programme is specially designed for all researchers – whether you are a PhD student, postdoc, or ZAP member. If you're curious about how to valorise your research and ready to take that next step, join us!
