The ENVRINNOV project is excited to introduce the “ENVRI Innovation Resources Toolbox”, an essential component of a new section to be established on the ENVRI-HUB on “Innovation Resources for the ENVRI community”.
The Toolbox will offer open access to tools and resources to support innovation activities for and by the ENVRI community. It aims to provide tailored guidelines, templates, and best practices that will help ENVRIs navigate the entire innovation process. This includes generating ideas for new products or services, technology development, technology transfer and commercialisation. It will also provide resources to build partnerships for innovation with stakeholders outside the ENVRI community and focus on enhancing collaboration with industry.
The aim is for the toolbox to be used by ENVRI community members across different roles, in RIs and RPOs. For instance, those who work in the development or adoption of new technologies and services or participate in innovation projects. Innovation policy and collaboration resources may also benefit RI Head Office management and administration, along with those involved in external engagement e.g. Industrial Liaison Officers (ILOs), Industrial Contact Officers (ICOs), and Outreach Officers.
To ensure that the contents of the toolbox meet the diverse needs of all ENVRI stakeholders, it is being designed through a bottom-up approach. The initial version of the toolbox is being developed by the ENVRINNOV consortium, which includes RIs from all four ENVRI subdomains at varying maturity levels. The toolbox will then be refined through a call for feedback and input from the wider community.
Once launched on the ENVRI-HUB, the Toolbox, complemented by additional Innovation supporting features such as the ENVRI Innovation Training Program (currently under development), will serve as an essential platform for fostering innovation by, and for, the ENVRI community.
