WiderAdvance Facility is a EU funded project that supports the valorization of knowledge in Widening countries and Outermost Regions (ORs). It promotes the exploitation of research and innovation results from the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programmes, particularly under the Widening/WIDERA actions, with the goal of reducing regional disparities.
Its primary objective is to accelerate the valorization and exploitation of Key Exploitable Results (KERs), thereby enhancing the socio-economic impact of these projects. To achieve this, it provides services such as tailored training, individualized coaching, intellectual property consultancy, and the organization of matchmaking events. These activities facilitate access to strategic networks, partnerships, and complementary funding sources, contributing to the increased impact and sustainability of research outcomes.
