Horizon Results Booster featured in The Grant podcast

Horizon Results Booster has appeared in The Grant podcast. We talked about how we are helping researchers all around Europe to boost the impact of their research results.

   
Horizon Results Booster was recently featured in The Grant, a series of podcasts dedicated to the exciting world of EU-funded projects. Together with its creator, Niels Tudor-Vinther, we discussed how Horizon Results Booster is helping researchers all around Europe to boost the impact of their research results.

Alessia Melasecche Germini, CEO and Senior Expert of META Group, on behalf of Horizon Results Booster, participated in episode #74 of The Grant. She gave an overview of the different free support services offered by the initiative. To apply to the services, the ongoing or past research projects - funded under H2020, FP7 or Horizon Europe programmes - have to submit their application on the dedicated website.

As Alessia mentioned, the involvement in Horizon Results Booster gives that “little extra push to get the projects rolling beyond their finish date”. Very often after the first deployment of the projects, research teams realise how hard it is to actually get applicable results in a post-project phase. Indeed, this phase is key to ensuring a long-term effect on the field of application.


Free-of-charge services for EU-funded projects in research and innovation

The work of Horizon Results Booster addresses one of the most tackling challenges faced by the European Commission: to maximise the economic and societal return from the huge investments made in research and development during the past decades. Securing continuity of the results achieved by the projects is core to Horizon Results Booster.

The idea behind Horizon Results Booster is always a learning experience for the beneficiaries. Every time that we have to provide a service, we create a team composed of a senior and a junior expert with experience related to the project’s field. On top of that, we have separated and dedicated teams for dissemination and go-to-market services. We also have another one, only for the benefit of the European Commission’s project officers which is specialised in providing them with studies”, highlighted Alessia.

To cover the pending issues from the first episode, a second one was registered. In this episode, The Grant team dug deeply into the diverse range of support services offered by Horizon Results Booster to EU-funded projects. When projects reach the end line many fall short of actually realising the potential of what they have just been investigating for the last 3-4 years.

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.
