After a year of intensive exchange between 18 European countries, I am very pleased to present the final report of the Mutual Learning Exercise on Knowledge Valorisation – Focus on Skills, Intersectoral Cooperation and Incentive Systems.

The recommendations of the final report address policy makers and are relevant for all R&I actors, notably research performing organisations. One of the key outcomes of the Mutual Learning Exercise is a policy toolbox of programmes, measures and good practices, which are helpful to put knowledge valorisation into practice. Inspiring examples and case studies invite you to follow suit. They were collected from participating countries and stakeholders during four study visits in Austria, Sweden, Finland and Spain. 

I invite you to join us in Namur for the INDTec conference to learn more about the results of the Mutual Learning Exercise and engage in a discussion on 5 June 2024. Don't miss this exciting event!
