Horizon Results Booster Health Check

09/09/2021

One year into the Horizon Results Booster, how are we doing? We’ve delivered 170 services to date, helping EU projects to achieve their dissemination and exploitation objectives.

Our most popular service was “Portfolio Dissemination and Exploitation Service Module C” whereby we review the key exploitable results of your project, revise, complement and clarify exploitation plans, and help you to perform a risk analysis related to the exploitation of results.

Here’s the breakdown of the marks out of 5 that our participants gave us per service:

Overall, our participants give us a score of 4/5 for services delivered!

To break that down further:

For content, participants gave us 4/5.
For overall experience, 4/5.
For our experts, 4/5.
And 4/5 participants said that they would recommend us to other projects.

And we’re only going to get better. We’ve received feedback from the majority of our participants, and we’re duly improving our services.

Here’s what some of our participants had to say:

"Working with contents from the projects always help defining project impact and activities beyond the current project. Very practical. Thanks.”

“I think these sessions are very good to have and should not be done at the last step of the project (lesson learned for coming projects! ;)).”

“The two experts were very well prepared and did engage a lot with our not so easy group! Thank you both for your help and your patience!”

“The HRB delivery team were very efficient and very practical in their approach and interactions. Unlike so many such projects, HRB seems less constrained by protocols, which suggests a much better outcome when projects reach the stage where they need to be commercially robust. Well done to all involved.”

“It was an overall useful experience that I would truly recommend. We are looking forward to keep growing with the booster in the next steps.”

“Very useful and constructive - wish I had known about it earlier in the project. Will take forward a lot of ideas for future proposals.”

“Really appreciated the HRB service and the methodology used to characterize the key exploitable results. It's important to have someone from outside the consortium who challenges ideas and help to develop exploitation pathways. I would definitively recommend it.”

“Super good programme and very flexible and hands-on.”

Booster expert tips and insights: the exploitation of your research results

Booster is a collaborative support service designed to mentor EU-funded project researchers grow their project’s impact and real-world application. The process is hands-on and co-creative: Booster experts bring tailored advice and tools, while beneficiaries remain at the centre of the journey.

Introducing Booster’s Go-To-Market Support service

25/02/2025

Turning research findings into tangible benefits has proven challenging for many EU-funded projects. While Europe is a global leader in generating high-quality research, there’s a well-recognised struggle to translate these findings into market-ready solutions - known as the “European paradox”. Booster’s Go-To-Market support service is designed to address this issue, helping researchers bridge the gap between innovation and impact.
