Unlocking opportunities for research uptake
Combining practical knowledge and AI support within a single tool
Addressing the barriers for real-world use
Why so few discoveries make it beyond the lab
ARCADIA responds to a European landscape in which 95% of patents remain inactive, revealing how much promising knowledge still goes underused. Fragmented support and complex requirements often make early-stage valorisation difficult to navigate.
By combining perspectives from multiple disciplines, we work with stakeholders to shape practical routes of valorisation. To do so, we aim to develop an AI-powered Toolbox that helps users move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Project in numbers
Our human-centred Toolbox powered by AI
Helping you make the decisions that shape early-stage valorisation
ARCADIA’s toolbox brings together different types of guidance in one accessible system, helping you move through complex processes in a more structured, informed and confident way.
Find the right AI support
Identify which AI-enabled tools can best support the next steps.
Build a vision and roadmap
Define a direction and plan the next steps more clearly.
Access practical knowledge and resources
Use templates, examples, guidance and training content when needed.
Tested with real-world innovation
Our toolbox evolves through pilots and iterative validation across sectors
The development of the toolbox involves researchers, intermediaries and innovators from different countries and contexts, including social sciences and humanities, STEM research, or AI ethics. Early use cases help define needs and priorities, while each testing cycle feeds new evidence into the next release.
This iterative approach helps ensure that the toolbox remains relevant, usable and grounded in real valorisation challenges while improving over time.
