What This Organisation Can Offer

The LBG OIS Center develops and offers specific services supporting scientists and scientific organizations in applying Open Innovation principles and practices. Our implementation offer focuses in particular on supporting researchers (academic and non-academic ones) to involve stakeholders in the research process and to unfold the societal impact of their research. We offer in particular: funding, consulting, capability building for researchers and institutions, partnership in consortia, tools and materials.

What This Organisation Is Looking for

Our goal is to establish and provide knowledge about the qualified implementation of Open Innovation in Science. We are looking for:

  • Re-thinking and re-designing scientific research through a shift towards working more openly, collaboratively and interdisciplinarily
  • Developing and testing new methods for integrating Open Innovation principles into scientific research and innovation processes
  • Establishing new forms of stakeholder interactions and collaborations within science
