The widerAdvance Facility invites research managers, administrators, innovation support professionals and researchers from Widening countries and Outermost Regions to apply for the Study Visit in Prague. The visit offers a unique opportunity to explore best practices in knowledge valorisation, dissemination and exploitation (D&E), IP and technology transfer, and research management across some of Czechia’s leading research and innovation institutions.

Over two days, participants will visit key innovation actors including the National Library of Technology, Charles University, the ELI Beamlines and HiLASE Centres, and engage in interactive sessions focused on moving research results closer to the market. The agenda includes guided visits, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to foster institutional improvement and peer learning.

This hands-on experience will also serve as a gateway to practical tools and insights that can help your institution scale up impact from EU-funded projects, especially within the Horizon Europe framework.
