CO-VALUE project is focused on the idea of “making results work for society” and embraces a co-valorisation approach that sees citizens and communities as key actors of knowledge valorisation processes, at the same level as any other science-innovation stakeholder. All project activities are dedicated to fostering, strengthening, enhancing, and empowering knowledge co-valorisation across Europe and beyond.

Two territories (Alicante in Spain and Emilia Romagna in Italy) will carry out various types of co-valorisation experiments. In each territory, quadruple-helix stakeholders from the research & innovation ecosystem will be involved in the co-design and implementation of co-valorisation leading to tangible changes.

Moreover, the transfer of best practices and skills will be guaranteed by a comprehensive scheme of capacity building, peer learning and shadowing opportunities, both at local and international level. The project will thus address the limited availability of best practices, knowledge sharing and training opportunities around societal engagement in knowledge valorisation.
