OPERATIONAL PATHWAY

CHALLENGE-DRIVEN PROCESS FOR KNOWLEDGE VALORISATION

The following sections provide tools and resources to support a challenge-driven process for knowledge valorisation that places societal challenges at the centre and follows a network-based approach. This process involves Quadruple Helix actors and starts from real needs to mobilise relevant knowledge and expertise for meaningful and sustainable impact.

In the two sections below, you will find practical resources to guide this journey: first to identify and frame a challenge, and then to move from that challenge towards the development of effective solutions.

IMPACT ASSESMENT

A set of impact assessment tools has been developed to help organisations and project teams understand how their innovation activities create value across different dimensions.

This section focuses on assessing the impact of innovation events within a Quadruple Helix ecosystem, considering the interaction between academia, industry, government, and civil society.

By using the assessment process, users can identify strengths and gaps in their current practices, calculate a score, and access recommendations to support improvement.
