Read article →Questions researchers often ask
How can a research proposal become an industry or commercial asset?
Methods, prototypes, datasets, work packages and stakeholder relationships can be converted into contract research, licensing, consulting, industrial R&D, a research company or an independent institute.
Does research commercialisation always require a startup?
No. Licensing, consulting, contract research, training, analytical services, software, prototyping and intrapreneurship are also commercialisation routes.
Can a proposal become the first programme of a research institute?
Yes. A mature proposal already contains a research direction, methodology, tasks, expected outputs and potential partners that can be reorganised into a multi-year institutional research programme.
