MKW - Making Knowledge Work

Many European countries today feel there is a discrepancy between advanced reseaerch and innovations turned into products. Making Knowledge Work is a collaboration between 12 European regions wishing to increase the degree of knowledge transfer between academia industry and society.

12 European regions will in this project collaborate in order to exchange bests practices and ways to achieve increased valorisation. The regions all differ, hence there is a great challenge in extracting the core of each best practice and turn that specific key learning in to a transferable element, that can be used in different settings across Europe.
