European Commission Workshop: Knowledge Valorisation in Action – From Results to Policy

The European Commission and the European Research Executive Agency (REA) will host the workshop “Knowledge Valorisation in Action: From Results to Policy” on 8 October 2026 in a hybrid format, bringing together researchers, innovation practitioners, policymakers and stakeholders from across Europe to explore how research results can be transformed into societal, market and policy impact.

The event will showcase experiences and outcomes from Horizon Europe-funded projects that have tested innovative knowledge valorisation approaches, highlighting lessons learned, successful practices and actionable recommendations for future European initiatives. Discussions will focus on translating research into evidence-based policymaking, strengthening innovation ecosystems and increasing the uptake of research results by society and industry.

The programme will feature project presentations, panel discussions and stakeholder exchanges centred on bringing research results to society and the market, while examining how lessons learned can inform future European policies and actions. Participants will also have opportunities to connect with peers and experts from across the European research and innovation ecosystem, fostering collaboration and the exchange of best practices.
