At a time when the EC is constructing its goals beyond Horizon 2020 towards Horizon Europe, the meeting was a significant opportunity for the EC to learn from the knowledge transfer community – and for the NAAC to present its proposal on how to increase the impact of European research funding.
The recommendations are:
- The introduction of a dedicated work package to address the impact of Horizon Europe projects and take care of the knowledge transfer, including translation into the innovation phase towards society and the market
- To ensure the involvement of Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTOs) in the project to lead this work package
- The assignment of additional budget for this work package
