The activities aimed at supporting an effective translation of expected research results into innovations with relevant socio-economic impact will be based on a set of interconnected tasks, that involve different methodological approaches as described below. The overall objectives of such activities consist on the early identification and assessments of alternative exploitation paths that range from the out-licensing of patented research results to the creation of a start-ups for the industrialisation for product industrialisation or to the setup of appropriate partnership with industrial and financial players than can provide relevant assets to achieve the deployment of research outcomes. The analysis of exploitation paths will also take into consideration an appraisal of the expected impact dimensions (e.g. generation of highly qualified jobs, degree of diffusion of the new technology in the relevant industries, expected environmental benefits, knowledge spill overs for subsequent technological innovations).

The main objective of the WP is to manage the project and the Consortium so as to reach successfully the objectives established in each work package. The objectives of this work package include the delivery of the different deliverables with the highest level of quality from a scientific and technical point of view, while maintaining the costs and timeframes expected in the project, as approved by the European Commission. This work package also covers the management of internal and external communications of the Consortium, as well as the communications with the Project Officer.

Compare key results of the project with the ones of the other projects funded under the Challenge “Novel routes to green hydrogen production” in call for proposals HORIZON-EIC-2021-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01-04 in order to build a shared roadmap of technologies competitiveness and key challenges to accelerate the development of their innovation potential. Develop synergies and collaborations with different stakeholders including beneficiaries of the other funded projects in the portfolio of the challenge). The objectives of the WP are steered by the EISMEA Programme Managers in charge of the portfolio.
