EIRMA - European Industrial Research Management Association’s Post

I had the pleasure of facilitating a panel on practical ways to “innovate the way you innovate” at the EIRMA annual conference last week Here are five things I learned from our expert panellists: 𝟭)   𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗥&𝗗 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁: Even for the most early stage basic and applied science 𝟮)   𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮, 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲! Provide clear criteria to your ideation teams and help them to ‘sell the idea’ to senior leadership 𝟯)   𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲. To get the best results, provide clarity over what problem to solve and then give them the freedom to solve it 𝟰)   𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀. If used effectively, this can free up headspace for genuine creativity 𝟱)   𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲. A strong talent pipeline and a happy workforce are an essential pre-requisite for success, and key rewards can include “giving me the opportunity to work on an exciting project” Thanks for the great discussion!

Bringing Hermes, the greek god of speed, to electrochemical synthesis. ⚡ Led by the ingenious Leon Wickert, we present our new electrochemical screening kit called ElectroHermes, allowing us to test rapidly different electrodes, membranes and conditions predicting performance trends before going to industrially relevant cells. https://lnkd.in/eDiNAU7V Focusing on making this cost-efficient design more accessible, all files are directly accessible through the Open Science Framework. If want to have any further possible improvements in mind or want to collaborate, feel free to reach out 😁 Leon Wickert | Julian Kleinhaus | Jonas Wolf | Julia Obel | Rui Cao | Daniel Siegmund | Ulf-Peter Apfel | Fraunhofer UMSICHT | Ruhr-Universit��t Bochum | Materials Research Department

Special session NANOSMAT 2025, Naples, Italy, July 6-10, 2025   In 2019 we had the very first innovation session at NANOSMAT Middle East 2019. It was highly interactive. Before that, for some time me and Dr Nasar Ali had discussed a lot about innovation from advanced materials and nanotechnology. As outcome, we got idea to have an innovation session at NANOSMAT Middle East 2019. It was great. After my introductory presentation, there was a lot of discussion and sharing of experiences. People were genuinely active.   Then came the pandemic.   Now we are back to that innovation activity. I am now planning the session at NANOSMAT 2025. It will not only be that session, we will do some online activities and build community. Interested to be part of advanced materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology innovation community?   About conference: www.nanosmat.org Follow NANOSMAT

Today and tomorrow the partners from Bionanopolys are gathered in Barcelona, hosted by IRIS Technology Solutions, for the project's General Assembly. The project is in its final year, and many achievements have been reported in the partners' presentations 🤩 Curious about the project's developments? We will soon be sharing our Success Stories, so continue to follow us here for more information 💪 Even though the project will soon end, the Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) that was founded during its duration will continue to live on! It aims to provide services for companies wishing to make the transition into more #sustainable practices with the use of #nanomaterials. Interested? Then read the newest edition of our OITB newsletter to have insights on how the Bionanopolys services can help you in this transition: https://lnkd.in/ebR-xDMa We also invite you to visit our website to learn more about the provided services: https://lnkd.in/geBy49kf Biorefine Cluster Europe ITENE AITEX CIDAUT Centre Technique du Papier CeNTI - Centre for Nanotechnology and Smart Materials Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant acib GmbH Politechnika Wrocławska Universiteit Gent Biotrend SA Particula Group EBAN - European Business Angel Network EBN - European Business & Innovation Centre Network LAW IN NOVATION AXIA Innovation GmbH Ambrosialab HILOS TECNICOS SAN MIQUEL SL Textisol Novamont Danipack srl DS Smith CellMat Technologies SL Logoplaste

Unfortunately, many industries perceive new technologies as a distant reality for their operations. Particularly, nanotechnology is viewed by over 90% of industries as a cutting-edge technology in the research phase, rather than ready for commercialization. However, at AdvancedTech, we aim to challenge this notion. Our technical consulting contracts with industries showcase the ease of creating substantial transformations and profitability in their operations. #AdvancedTech #Nanotechnology #TechnicalConsulting #Innovation

⚡ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 Have you ever felt like the future is closer than it seems? That’s how I felt when I first explored the world of 𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲. It’s like stepping into the future—materials that can heal themselves, conduct electricity better than copper, or make batteries last twice as long. But as I spoke to researchers and industry leaders, one challenge kept coming up: 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝? That’s why I founded 𝐍𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭: to simplify how innovators access the world’s most advanced materials and bring their boldest ideas to life. The journey has been incredible so far, and I can’t wait to share more with you about how this platform is helping shape industries. Let’s explore the future together. 🌟 #FutureTech #Nanotechnology #Innovation

It's quite interesting that in 90% of business meetings with manufacturers, when I talk about the changes nanotechnology can bring to their products, the first thing I often hear is, "That's great, but nanotechnology is still far from being integrated into the industry, and all of this is just a university project." Many of them don't realize that "this is not the case." Sometimes, with just a simple and low-cost adjustment, they can create a significant change in their product and get ahead of their competitors. We are ready to show you the way; after that, it's up to you whether to implement it or not. #industry #nanotechnology #innovation
