Across Europe, strategies and tools have been developed to transform research results into societal and economic benefits. The Repository includes practices, 'learning from experience' examples and relevant policies. All information is provided by the stakeholders themselves who remain responsible for accuracy and veracity of the content.

EMPORIA4KT Academia Innovation Enhancer is, therefore, a training programme designed to upgrade skills of academia in knowledge transfer and innovation
Plug and Transfer programme for universities and R&D organisations
![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/plug-and-transfer.jpg?itok=7ZSqQKr1)
The programme aims to help universities and research organisations identify new collaboration and funding
opportunities.

![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/uni-driving-force.jpg?itok=bnu_TYQ5)
The University wants to be a driving force for innovation, tackling big societal challenges
Support for ensuring trustworthy AI innovations
![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/trustworthy-ai.jpg?itok=smXgW6Nn)
The feedback gathered from stakeholders clarified that making AI systems trustworthy requires a collaborative effort amongst people with different expertise and that they need to be able to work together to complete the Assessment List.
Supporting European research projects to reach the market
![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/project-support.jpg?itok=oziWA0J0)
Non-technological bottlenecks often prevent a research result from making it out of the lab; therefore, FET2RIN provided support to bridge the gap between research results and their use.
Multi-stakeholder cooperation to address sustainability issues
![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/multi-stakeholder-cooperation.jpg?itok=Ma_AABpB)
Embedded in the ambition to address urban sustainability issues, this solution for climate change adaption in the urban environment aims to provide ecological and social benefits to the city.
Maximising societal impact through transdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge brokers
![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/knowledge-brokers_0.jpg?itok=Rf8wuQXx)
Ghent University introduced ten research consortia or IDC, each with their own impact broker, in an effort to increase the societal impact for research.
Fraunhofer model of performance-based basic funding
![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/performance-based-funding.jpg?itok=vJO2MrhQ)
In research practice, the obligation to valorise knowledge is often perceived as unloved ballast that is only addressed in the final phase of a project with then scarce resources.
10K Incubator for students
![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/incubator-student.jpg?itok=KlZStlov)
The 10K Incubator programme aims to fill a gap in the support of students in entrepreneurship, by targeting all students, early on, from all possible fields of studies.
Rural-Urban Learning Hub giving access to research results and innovation
![](https://projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/kvp/image/rural-urban.jpg?itok=Pil8vM-X)
The Rural-Urban Learning Hub is one of the key outcomes of the ROBUST project which explored how synergies between the rural and the urban can be applied in practice to strengthen regional collaboration.
