Project Acronym: VALOR
Programme: Sixth Framework Programme - Research and Innovation
Project Type: INNO-Nets
Duration: 36 months
Start Date: October 2006

The fundamental objective of the VALOR project is to coordinate and network key players in innovation policy to develop a common agenda and a joint action plan for the valorisation process across Europe. This will enable innovations with a high potential to be identified and supported at an earlier stage, thus enabling the appropriate supporting measures to be put in place and maximising the effectiveness and scope of the programmes that are currently undertaken at national or regional levels.
