This webinar explores strategies for fostering researchers' skills, mindsets, and leadership to promote knowledge-based innovation and valorisation.

In this session, we will explore how institutions upskill and reskill researchers to drive knowledge-based innovation and create real-world value. We will discuss how to build a vibrant institutional culture of innovation, supporting individual talent and collaborative leadership.

💡 Key topics include:

• Skills and competence requirements for fostering knowledge valorisation,
• Strategies to develop innovative mindsets in researchers and educators,
• Challenges and opportunities to consolidate an innovation ecosystem.

The webinar will feature three expert presentations, engaging audience Q&A sessions, and an interactive debate to foster active participation.
