MIT Portugal Program’s Post

Mastering Horizon Europe Proposals: Insights from Seven Sigma Innovation 🌍 Securing Horizon Europe funding is no small feat—it demands expertise, precision, and a deep understanding of the program's objectives. At the recent NCP_WIDERA.NET Capacity Building Workshop in Yerevan, Armenia, I shared actionable strategies for crafting winning Horizon Europe proposals. My presentation emphasized: ✔️ Alignment: Ensuring your project resonates with the call objectives. ✔️ Structure & Clarity: A well-organized, compelling narrative makes a lasting impression. ✔️ Strong Partnerships: A robust consortium amplifies project potential. ✔️ Attention to Detail: Flawless submission processes are non-negotiable. At Seven Sigma Innovation, we’re dedicated to empowering researchers and organizations to succeed in their pursuit of excellence in European research and innovation. 💡 Curious to learn more?

For our english followers | We are at the forefront of innovation with its groundbreaking project in the "Interreg Europe" program: #KnowledgeAnalytics! 🚀 Officially known as "Advanced Analytics for Knowledge Transfer Monitoring and Evaluation", this project is all about bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and real-world applications. 💡 It aims to transfer scientific insights to businesses and society while fostering collaboration between the realms of science and business. 📊 How? By harnessing the power of data analysis tools! 🔍 "KnowledgeAnalytics" recently launched a Call for Best Practices in Knowledge transfer, science, and business cooperation. 🌟The centerpiece of the initiative is the State of the Art report. Titled "Advanced analytics for efficient knowledge transfer: desired status and obstacles delaying its achievement," this report is a game-changer. It'll uncover the challenges faced by each region, guide the selection of best practices, and set the stage for future exchanges of experiences to tackle these challenges head-on. 📈 🤔 Why stop there? 🤔 "KnowledgeAnalytics" is also diving deep into the realm of advanced analytics, including artificial intelligence, big data, and more. These tools have immense potential to enhance public interventions supporting knowledge transfer between science and business. 💡 Recently we met for the first 2 days kick-off meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania. It brought together key stakeholders, including Zita Duchovskienė, Salomėja Vanagienė, Kristina Babelyte-Labanauske, RTTP, prof. dr. Pranciskus Vitta for insightful discussions and networking opportunities. 🤝 📚 Day 1 was jam-packed with sessions covering project objectives, partner activities and best practices. The agenda was brimming with excitement and learning opportunities! Day 2 kicked followed by sessions on project management and coordination. It concluded with study visits and final remarks, leaving everyone inspired and ready to take on the challenges ahead. 🌟 📝 More information and updates on this groundbreaking project can be found on our website ▶️ https://lnkd.in/dm7hTyzF or project website ▶️https://lnkd.in/da-gCw22 Let's unlock the power of knowledge together! 🔓

Administrative work The advantage of having regular meetings (meetups, forum, workshop as applied in IW-SiC) in a strategic topic is that it builds a community and a consortium pool. At some point there is a call that suits the strategic topic. Someone will propose to apply. Starting early will make a proposal stronger. One of my activities via my SME ALMINICA AB is impact and transfer of knowledge. That is an added value in a proposal and Alminica can be partner. If you have an ongoing EU project, I can host a workshop as training and capacity building. I have built that knowhow as transfer of knowledge partner in EU FET Open project SiComb. It resulted in an innovation service that is assessed as ”excellent science innovation” by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) market creation potential indicator framework (Innovation Radar homepage) as having high level of market creation potential. Get in touch if interested to have added value for your project with impact creation and transfer of knowledge.

😀 The #MINDSETproject, led by #ERNACT and funded by the Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic, is advancing its understanding of Mission-Oriented Innovation (#MOI) and its impact throughout the NPA region. The Mission Oriented Innovation in the NPA Area Assessment report reviews the state of MOI in Finland, Ireland, Norway and Sweden. 📍 In Finland, recent surveys indicate a clear interest in using MOI approaches for development activities. However, MOI approaches are not often mentioned in Finnish policies or initiatives. Some exceptions include references in the evaluation of the national sustainable development program, the national growth plan, the Research Council of Finland’s evaluation report, and the updated National Roadmap for Research, Development, and Innovation (2021). 👉 Find out more at https://lnkd.in/ddf5tWRm University of Helsinki Ruralia Institute - University of Helsinki Department of Informatics @ Umea university Umeå University Jose Manuel San Emeterio Perez Toni Ryynänen Mikael Söderström Ulf Hedestig Photo by Pihla Liukkonen on Image bank of City of Mikkeli

T3N-BSB Project 2nd Online Consortium Meeting “The 2nd Online Consortium Meeting was held with the participation of all partners within the scope of the ‘Transnational Technology Transfer Network for the Black Sea Basin’ (T3N-BSB) Project implemented by Karadeniz Technical University Technology Transfer Application and Research Center (KTU TTM) from Türkiye, in partnership with ‘Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH)’ (CERTH) from Greece, ‘BATTTI - Bulgarian Association for Transfer of Technology and Innovation’ (BATTI) from Bulgaria and ‘Universitatea „Dunărea de Jos” din Galați (UDJG) from Romania under the ‘Interreg VI-B NEXT Black Sea Basin’ Programme. The meeting, which started with an opening presentation that included important reminders about the program rules and project activities, focused on the issues to be considered within the scope of the project, critical dates in the activity calendar and task distributions. Afterwards, each project partner shared with each other the results of their work on “Good Practices in Countries Regarding Technology Transfer Ecosystem” that was worked on within the scope of the project. During the meeting, the activities to be carried out within the scope of the T3N-BSB Project were discussed in detail. In addition, the completion dates of the current activity were reviewed and a roadmap was created for the timely and complete completion of the tasks. During this process, harmony was achieved among all partners and a consensus was reached on the distribution of tasks and the steps to be taken towards the final goals. The productive meeting ended with a group photo taken with the participation of the project team.
