Making impact with research

Do you have an idea – based upon your research – that could benefit people, companies, other organisations or society as a whole?
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us, even in the early stages when your thoughts and plans are not yet concrete. Often, an unlikely concept opens up new avenues. IXA can help you identify the best strategy to further advance your particular idea, invention, innovation, product, service, technology or (educational) material.

Why valorisation?

Valorising research is the process by which scientific knowledge produces social and/or economic value. Research from all disciplines can be valorised; from the Arts to social sciences, from medical innovations to research from the Faculty of Law and the beta sciences. By valorising research, researchers create value for society and a positive impact on the future.

Workshops and training

Especially for researchers, IXA organises workshops, courses, seminars, knowledge clips and more. You will gain specific knowledge and train essential valorisation skills to increase the impact of your research. Our workshops and programs are open to employees at Amsterdam UMC, HvA, UvA or VU.

How to start a company?

University research can lead to an idea for a product, service or innovation. Maybe you would rather follow your own path and start your own spin-off company? How do you get from a good idea to your own company or social enterprise? Discuss it with IXA and make the most of our services and facilities.
