Description:
Multiple research projects have been funded and implemented, resulting in numerous knowledge and results: more than ten thousand peer-reviewed articles have been published, mentioning ‘biodiversity’ as a key word since the start of 2025. How can we optimally transfer these knowledge and resources into the everyday life of businesses? Policies are being built, as well as academia-business partnerships, and many other vehicles for knowledge transfer. What are the best practices for improving the transfer of information, adoption, and exploitation of research results by business stakeholders?

Format:
• 55 minutes roundtable with 4 to 5 speakers, both from academic and business background, ideally one with double experience
• 30 minutes Q&A with the attendance (on site)
• 5 minutes wrap up and conclusion
The workshop will be animated by an experienced facilitator and include live sketching.

Goals:
• Highlight good practices of knowledge transfer
• Show a panorama of successful exploitation of research results
• Foster connections between academia and business

Expected Outcomes:
• Increased awareness of scientists towards exploitation potential of their results
• Increased awareness of business stakeholders of the value of scientific results
• Networking between scientists and businesses
