Research to Value is designed for teams of 2-3 people to work together to understand, appreciate and put a value on the commercial potential of a research portfolio. A member of Professional Services staff and a Researcher they nominate will work together to understand how to articulate the breadth of opportunities in a research portfolio and put a value on them.

It’s ideal for Professional Services staff who support researchers to take their ideas through a commercialisation pathway, support the protection of IP and ultimately realise long term impact. It’s targeted towards researchers that feel they have significant possibility to generate socio-economic value from their research and lack the skills, time or resource to make it happen.

What do you learn?
What do you learn?
The programme is designed to help Professional Services staff and researchers develop the skills to explore research portfolios in a structured way to identify and define commercial opportunities.
Professional services staff will learn a reproducible process they can apply when supporting researchers interested in exploring commercial opportunities. Researchers will learn a process they can apply to their existing research portfolio and future research to maximise commercial opportunity.

"This programme take a fresh approach to feeding the pipeline of commercial opportunities coming from our research base. I hope participants will learn some new tools and techniques, strengthen relationships with researchers to identify new leads, and influence the complex culture for innovation in our universities".

How does it work?
How does it work?
This is an interactive cohort-based programme that takes the teams through a structured process to define commercialisation opportunities within their research portfolio. There will be participants from HEIs across Scotland taking part and this will enhance the sharing of best practice across the ecosystem.
The programme offers a blend of front-led content to explore key concepts, breakout space to allow the teams to work together applying the knowledge and then share learning and progress with peers in the larger group. There will be application activities to undertake as a team between sessions (no more than 90 minutes recommended).
