The report summarises the key findings of the MLE on Knowledge Valorisation - Focus on Skills, Intersectoral Cooperation, and Incentive Systems where 18 countries participated. The main purpose of the MLE has been to provide support to policymakers and key R&I actors and to identify actionable good policy practices and instruments that help implement the Council Recommendation on Guiding Principles for knowledge valorisation, adopted in December 2022. Amongst the many aspects addressed by these Guiding Principles, the MLE focused on five topics: (a) the policy and legal context as well as governance and funding, (b) research talents and skills for knowledge valorisation, (c) the role of intermediaries, (d) the importance of networks and processes, and (e) the concept of intellectual assets management. The report includes policy recommendations together with a policy toolbox and many inspirational examples.
