How to Use the Toolbox?
Exciting New Initiative to Boost Innovation in the ENVRIs
By providing tailored guides, templates, and best practices, it provides step-by-step support throughout the innovation process: from generating ideas for new products or services and partnership building, to technology development, technology transfer, and commercialisation. The Toolbox also includes resources to help ENVRIs forge partnerships beyond their community, focusing on strengthening collaboration with industry and other key stakeholders.
When combined with the ENVRI Services Catalogue and the Innovation Training Program, the ENVRI Innovation Hub becomes a key resource for connecting researchers with industry and promoting innovation in environmental science.
Key Components of the Toolbox
The toolbox is structured into five main sections, each covering various stages of the innovation pathway. This structured approach helps guide users from conception to real-world application. Each section is broken down into subsections and subtopics that provide detailed information on the relevant topics.
Summary Tables
The summary table outlines various components, detailing their purpose, relevant tools, descriptions, usage methods, and timing.
Begin by examining the listed components, as this will provide an overview of what is included in the specific section. Subsequently, consult the column that explains the purposes of each component; this will enhance your understanding of the significance of each component and its contribution to the overall process. Following this, review the column about the relevant tools associated with each component, as these tools are vital for the effective implementation or management of the components. The description column offers further details regarding each tool. It is important to consider the usage methods outlined, which detail the appropriate ways to utilize each component. Finally, refer to the timing column to comprehend when each component should be employed, thereby aiding in effective planning.
Example Boxes
The Example Boxes are designed explicitly to support innovation within ENVRIs by offering applicable examples from the environmental domains.
