The proposed pre-maturity scheme aims to support innovative projects in the upstream phase, in order to enable them to reach a level of maturity sufficient to access more financing, develop strategic partnerships or initiate entrepreneurial dynamics. With a 100 k envelope€This call finances projects up to 30 k€ up to 12 to 24 months.

Declaration of innovation

The innovation declaration is the first step in a development project and the communication medium for your research results or innovation to CY Transfer. It allows your interlocutors to understand and grasp the interest of your innovation, to understand the path that has taken you there.e, to identify the people involved in obtaining it, to understand the objectives you associate with it, to report your proposed publication concerning it. It's mostly a basis for dialogue between CY Transfer and you.

A set of actions that are implemented at universities and research institutions to familiarize research personnel with the value-added and transfer of their work to the socio-economic world.

Glossary

Transfer

This is the mechanism for actors such as associations, communities, businesses, ... to take advantage of innovative work and results from public research in order to facilitate their activity or to offer new products and/or services. The innovation conceptualised by the research team is thus put into practice or proposed by these actors to their ecosystem (users, users, clients...).

Glossary

Development

Exploitation is the activity which leads to the further development of research results in the form of a project in order to transfer these results to socio-economic actors. In particular, it operates in the following dimensions:
– Scientists and application, consolidating the results,
– economic, by considering how to use the results, and
– Legal, by organising through contracts and intellectual property the protection of fruits and the conditions and modalities of their use and exploitation.

Societal impact / SROI

The return on social or societal investment (ROI – English term, social return on investment) is an analytical tool that allows the value of a project to be considered more broadly than by the financial prism, as the ROI does, considering in particular its social or societal, environmental and economic costs and benefits. It requires mapping the expected impacts of the project and their value and involving the stakeholders involved in the project.
