On Supporting the Effective Use and Transfer of Outputs from Research Projects

Abstract

The paper discusses selected aspects of the “innovation transfer” of knowledge and products, which arose during the solution of European research “collaborative” projects in an academic environment. The knowledge gained linking to similar national projects also solved outside the academic environment. When investigating the identified problems, the knowledge gained during the solution of the project “Extensions to support the effective exploitation of outputs from H2020 projects solved at the Technical University of Košice (TUKE)” is also used. The project initiated in 2018 by a targeted national call supported by the European Regional Development Fund, is managing by the University Science Park TECHNICOM at TUKE. Following European development strategies, the results and solutions of project activities are briefly presenting and examined in a broader context through their contribution to the support of the university system of innovative cooperation with practice and business development. From this point of view, authors discussed other aspects related to usability/applicability and support for “innovative transfer” of products generated, both in European framework research projects, and in other similar research projects. In conclusion, there are thematic proposals for sustainable and effective research and innovation cooperation with practice in the dimensions of European and national research programs and their projects.
