Develop your skills
When introducing your idea to society, you may discover that you need to improve certain skills. That is why IXA organises a number of workshops, courses, webinars, seminars and much more. These enable researchers to explore activities that enhance the valorisation of research, develop their proficiency in specific valorisation–related topics, and gain essential entrepreneurship skills.
- Impact Program (6 days over a 6-month period), create more societal impact through your research and teaching.
The work you do as a researcher and teacher is important. But how do you increase your societal impact? What kind of strategy do you need? How do you present the story behind your research more clearly, with more emphasis on output and relevance? Who might be interested in your project or idea? And how do you approach media outlets, government agencies or companies? The Impact Program offers answers to all these questions and more. - Learning Path Valorisation and Impact
Ever think about the impact that your research can have outside of academia? Would you like to explore how you can increase the impact of your research? IXA offers a learning path on getting involved in valorisation and creating impact. The objective? Inspire, learn new skills, and make you aware of the possibilities of valorising research. - Custom–made workshops for departments or faculties

VU researchers develop research equipment to identify contaminants in water
Water, comprising over 70% of our planet, is the source of all life. The presence of emerging contaminants in our water, including pharmaceuticals, pose serious health and environmental risks, such as DNA damage, reproductive issues, and cancer. New equipment to detect these contaminants developed by VU researchers has been sold to other research groups all over the world. Now the researchers are taking the next step, together with IXA, to expand sales to water companies worldwide as well as other applications such as food and drug discovery research.
