Research Infrastructures Enhancing EU R&I Horizon Europe

DG Research & Innovation of the European Commission developed this guidance as part of the ERA Policy Agenda 2025–2027 and its structural policy "Upscaling knowledge valorisation capacities and activities".

Knowledge valorisation is distinct from dissemination — the public disclosure of results — and from impact, which describes the change that research produces in the world.

Valorisation is the deliberate activity that connects the two: transforming data, know-how, and research outputs into products, services, solutions, and knowledge-based policies that generate social and economic value.

Multidisciplinary research including Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) offers valuable solutions for addressing Europe's societal challenges. By integrating knowledge across disciplines and sectors, it can provide new policy perspectives, human-centred innovations, and business ideas. However, its potential is not always translated into broader societal, economic, and political value, and uptake needs to be accelerated.

The guidance is designed to help R&I projects create greater value from multidisciplinary results, including those involving Social Sciences and Humanities. It is based on a comprehensive analysis of existing best practices and offers 10 practical pathways – from research to human-centred technology, participatory innovation, entrepreneurship, organisational change, evidence-informed policy and more.

STARGATE - Sustainable Aviation

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”.  It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
