E-RIHS PP D.9.4 INNOVATION AGENDA

Innovation constitutes the goal and at the same time the medium for achieving all E-RIHS strategic objectives and therefore the Innovation Agenda addresses all research actions and services, training and communication as well as collaborations with other RIs and Industry (in the broad sense), in the Heritage domain. The ‘Innovation Agenda’ represents the main action plan that reflects the priorities set in key areas and provides those mechanisms and structures necessary to enable innovation in any specific identified direction. The document reviews mechanisms, internal rules and procedures concerning the E-RIHS Innovation Strategy and discusses issues related to formulating, managing and keeping up-to-date the Innovation Agenda. A systematic approach in monitoring innovation, defining metrics and indicators (KPI’s), will provide a reliable assessment of the innovation impact to Excellence, Synergies and Co-creation, Users and public engagement and the Sustainability of E-RIHS ERIC as a leader in the global HS landscape.
This document is Deliverable 9.4, elaborated in the context of E-RIHS PP, WP-09, Task 9.2, ‘Exploitation of E-RIHS capacities: innovation, transfer of knowledge and marketing’.
