Innovation Driven Research (IDR)
Innovation in companies as a stimulus for new research, raising new questions, opening new horizons, and identifying new applications for research results.
Research Driven Innovation (RDI)
Research to answer companies’ questions, point to future directions, and support their long-term business development.
These two pathways are not separate
They converge within the Spokes, which serve as the shared platform where researchers and companies co-build innovation programmes oriented towards real-world impact.
The goal is to make the connection between companies and research as direct as possible, transforming business challenges into concrete research questions.
Knowledge, technologies, and programmes developed within the Spokes are transferred to the productive world through collaborative projects with companies, spin-off generation, and the Academy for Companies - turning scientific excellence into concrete impact for businesses, territories, and society.
We’re building this space for you - coming soon.
