The Training on Innovation & Research Commercialisation was hosted by Maynooth University (MU) (online) on March 26th, 2025.
This training was designed to equip our researchers with essential skills to identify the impact of their research, commercialise outcomes, and enhance their ability to innovate. These skills are crucial for fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, effective team interaction, and industry collaboration. Through the guidance of Pr. Peter Conlon, director of MaynoothWorks, and Dr. Paul Tyndall, commercial executive of MU, the training explored several key themes, including:
- Introduction to Commercialisation of Research
- Intellectual Property
- Legal Contracts
- Spin-Out Companies
- Technical Marketing & Product Development: Understanding the Impact of YourResearch
- Interacting with Industry and/or NGOs
- Business Exercise: Team Building
Upon successful completion, our researchers were able to identify and discuss the key players involved in the commercialisation process and understand the necessary systems and interactions. They were equipped to valuate the potential impact and value proposition of their research, navigate intellectual property issues, understand legal obligations and constraints, and handle confidential information. Additionally, they developed business plans and gain many other valuable skills, making this training an invaluable resource for researchers aiming to enhance their impact, foster innovation, and successfully navigate the commercialisation landscape.
