"Establishing in the briefest terms, whether something would work so you can prioritise and focus. That was quite helpful. Rather than going through a long-winded process".

Calling all Professional Services staff
Do you support researchers to realise the commercial value of their work?
If so, Research to Value offers a fantastic opportunity to learn a time-efficient process for helping researchers identify and define commercial opportunities and support them on their commercialisation journey.
The Scottish Funding Council in partnership with Skillfluence are providing a professional development programme to enhance your commercialisation support skills.
This is an action-oriented, output-focused programme where you work together with a researcher you choose from your Institution. Together you’ll explore the commercial potential of their research portfolio and leave with a well-defined opportunity, including an estimated commercial value and specific next-steps for progressing the opportunity.
Important: Both the Professional Services staff member and their researcher partner must each submit separate applications. Please coordinate with your partner to ensure you both apply by the deadline.

Who is this programme for?
The Research to Value programme is ideal for Professional Services staff
who support researchers to take their ideas through a commercialisation
pathway, support the protection of IP and ultimately leading to long term,
socio-economic impact.
The programme is designed to be journey that you and the researcher go on
together. You will work together to understand, appreciate and place a
commercial value on an opportunity stemming from their existing research.
Apply for this programme with a researcher who feels they have commercial
opportunities that could be developed from their research, but lack the time,
skills or resources to realise the full potential. The programme is designed
for all disciplines and is suitable for potential commercial pathways
(i.e. spinouts, licensing, consultancy, CPD, social enterprise).
