BUSINESS & ENTREPRENEURSHIP

This series of workshops will guide you through every crucial stage, from validating your idea to forging partnerships with leading research and innovation institutions, wisely executing your project and, ultimately, ensuring the project's results are impactful and sustainable.

Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation of R&D and Innovation results

We'll also cover key aspects of effective science communication and the rules and guidelines for publishing data and results. Additionally, we'll delve into the world of intellectual property rights management in R&D, illustrating how to address it in collaborative projects.
Obligatory deliverables
Ethics Management, Data Management Plan (DMP), Exploitation Plan. In Horizon Europe, certain deliverables are mandatory for projects, including:
Data Management Plan (DMP):
All projects generating or reusing data are required to submit a DMP within the first six months. This plan outlines how data will be managed, shared, and preserved throughout the project.
Ethics Requirements:
Projects involving ethical considerations must address specific ethics requirements. These are identified during the ethics review process and are included as deliverables in the grant agreement.
Exploitation and Dissemination Plan:
While not universally mandatory, many projects are required to develop a plan detailing how project results will be exploited and disseminated. The necessity of this plan depends on the specific call or topic under which the project is funded. We lead and support the development of these deliverables in the projects in which we participate. This training can be adjusted to your needs (e.g., only DMP or only Ethics Require.)
