RRI Strategies​

In accordance with the European Union’s policy, projects related to new technologies and financed from EU funds, i.e. Horizon Europe, should take into account the broadly understood impact on society and take into account various consequences of the potential implementation of the results of R&D works.

We offer participation in scientific consortia in international projects by creating research components consistent with the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) methodology in 6 areas:

  • social participation and involvement;
  • gender equality;
    free access to research results;
  • science education;
    management;
  • ethics.

Reports

We have developed specialized reports that analyze both the state of social reception of new technologies, as well as reports that constitute an analysis and a set of recommendations for selected branches of the economy and the organizational activities of state institutions.

Report examples:

Hydrogen technology security strategy in Poland for 2023-2030 (PL)

Safety in hydrogen technologies in 8 reports(PL)

Report – H2: Opinions and preferences of Polish women and men

We enable organizations to better plan R&D activities and make decisions regarding IP protection. We also provide technology innovation assessments necessary as part of selected grant applications.

Services:

  • support in applying for a patent or utility model,
  • client representation before the patent office,
  • identification of entities – potential licensees of IP property,
  • monitoring of national patent databases + personalized alerts about changes.

Reports:

  • examination of the state of the art, patentability and purity,
  • examination of the scope of protection of a patent or utility model,
  • analysis of patent activity of economic entities,
  • analyzing trends and creating a patent landscape in given areas of technology,
  • comparative analysis of innovative solutions of competitive entities and connections between these entities,
  • IP-insight analysis, e.g. Patent Value Report, IP Portfolio Pruning, M&A Simulation.

Thanks to a professional IT platform, we have access to all documentation collected in patent offices around the world. Knowledge of a wide spectrum of technologies is provided by daily cooperation with technology experts and scientists from all Łukasiewicz institutes. We gained our knowledge and experience while carrying out orders from entities from the public and private sectors and NGOs.

R&D infrastructure planning

Innovative institutions and enterprises plan many activities in the field of research and development. This often requires developing a strategy for such activities, supported by a needs analysis, but also organizing the technical and process infrastructure needed to launch such activities.

We have extensive experience in this area, as evidenced by the development of numerous technological audits, as well as reports on what type of research infrastructure should be purchased by given institutions or companies for the most optimal development.

Based on the work carried out, clients were able to optimize their investments in research infrastructure and adapt it to adequate needs, which will determine investment directions anticipating not only demand, but also future technology development.

Identifying public funds for development

Many activities, both economic and as part of participation in the processes of applying for public funds, contain elements of innovation.

In many cases, the presence of an institutionalized technological and innovation partner is a key competition requirement.

We help in the difficult process of finding a technology partner. Based on identified technological needs, we select innovative partners and assist in the process of establishing consortiums.

As a research network institute, we also offer support in the process and coordination of activities within joint initiatives (partner in the consortium).

Our competences in this area are:

  • Finding technology partners,
  • Creating, operating and supporting consortiums,
  • Internationalization of the process of searching for technological partners

Finding technology partners

We are part of the Łukasiewicz Research Network. It consists of 25 scientific and research institutes covering areas such as health, digital transformation, smart, clean mobility and green and low-emission energy. The Łukasiewicz Research Network is people and innovative devices/solutions. The network employs over 4,500 scientists and has over 4,000 devices for conducting research, including many key and unique devices in the country.

Such resources are synergized by us. Based on our experience and extensive knowledge of Łukasiewiczau, we select the appropriate institute, engage experts and specific technologies to perform the tasks resulting from the role of a consortium member.

We are ready to meet your expectations. Will you join us?!

Internationalization

Poland is involved in many innovation-related activities that require international cooperation. For Polish entrepreneurs, despite the interesting scope of such programs and their own competences in this respect, the process of finding foreign partners with complementary competences is very difficult.

We ensure finding such partnerships, assisting in their creation, writing applications and operational work. Both through activities at the central and local levels.

Organizing and managing clusters

Clusters offer a beneficial ecosystem that encourages competition and cooperation between companies with different industrial origins, technological and business knowledge. We work persistently and with commitment to the success of cluster members. We just try harder.

We provide professional services to entities operating in the cluster area, using specialist knowledge, the aim of which is to solve the problem posed by the service recipient – the cluster entity. Providing professional services requires, first of all, specialized knowledge and high qualifications supported by acquired and documented education and experience. We develop recommendations regarding communication strategies and channels needed to implement social change, or to prepare response scenarios for expected stakeholder behavior. After diagnosing communication deficits, we can develop strategies for effective action.
