Have you missed our last EU Knowledge Valorisation Talk on successful models of academia-industry collaboration in advanced materials and health❓ Here is a quick recap for you: 🌟 Effective collaboration accelerates innovation and supports the green and digital transitions, crucial for Europe’s competitiveness. 🔑 Successful partnerships require clear communication regarding expectations and capabilities, ensuring all parties understand their roles. 🏅 Industry partners benefit from academia’s research expertise and access to talent while academia benefits from confronting real-world problems and incorporating practical experience to enhance the quality of its research. 🚀 Startups face unique challenges in securing funding and navigating complex regulatory environments, making tailored support and mentoring essential for their growth. 💡 Knowledge transfer offices play a critical role in facilitating partnerships but need to adapt to foster longer-term collaboration for societal impact rather than short-term gains. 📊 Joint IP agreements must balance interests of both academia and industry, ensuring fair access to innovations developed through collaboration. 🤗 Building trust through professional project management and ongoing communication is essential for sustaining successful academia-industry relationships. Thanks a lot to our brilliant speakers Kurt Gielen of Medace BV and Deirdre Caden of Amber for the inspiration and Dominik Sobczak for the smooth moderation.
