Description

About

Europe’s Research & Innovation potential is central to driving societal progress, environmental solutions and economic growth and advancing the green and digital transitions. To realise this potential, stakeholders in research and knowledge transfer must develop robust and effective Research Knowledge Valorisation Strategies that foster the circulation and re-use of research outputs while ensuring appropriate regulation through Intellectual Property rights.

Addressing the European Research Area Policy Agendas (2022–2024 and 2025–2027), the Horizon Europe project IP4OS (2025–2026) provides practical guidance for an effective Valorisation approach that combines agile Intellectual Property management with the sharing of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable (FAIR) research outputs (data, results, codes, etc.)—a concerted Intellectual Property–Open Science approach.

Throughout the project, innovative guidance has been developed in the form of the IP4OS Toolbox, supporting European multi-professional teams (p. 1-4), researchers, Open Science Ambassadors, Knowledge & Technology Transfer Professionals, Librarians, Research Managers, Data Stewards et al., and institutions in achieving impact and value creation.

 

The Pilot Learning Lab, part of the IP4OS Toolbox, outlines the process of the IP4OS capacity-building programme to be implemented in 2026. The programme aim to establish and train multi-professional teams (p. 1-4) across all 27 European Member States and 300 individuals.  

 

Outcome

Research actors across different professions, disciplines, and organisations will be empowered to provide strategic consultations to researchers within their institutions on effective Research Knowledge Valorisation and to act as multipliers of the concerted Intellectual Property–Open Science approach for a strong European Research & Innovation future.
