The Research to Impact (R2I) Lab invites you to join the Research to Impact Lab Forum on 15 July 2026, from 2:00–3:00 pm BST.
The session will introduce the Integrated Readiness Matrix (IRM), a framework designed to help innovation teams assess readiness across commercial, market, and societal dimensions alongside Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). Participants will also hear a case study demonstrating how a university is testing a new intervention to address an intellectual property bottleneck and strengthen industry collaboration and future commercialisation outcomes.
The forum will also provide an overview of upcoming R2I Lab programmes focused on experimental policymaking and programme design, followed by a live Q&A with the speakers.
This event is particularly relevant for policymakers, innovation agencies, knowledge exchange and technology transfer professionals, university leaders, strategic intermediaries, and academic researchers.
From day one ASTP has been a tremendous help. Learning throughs seminars and workshops or meeting peers for discussions, there is always someone around to exchange ideas with.

There was ample opportunity to learn from colleagues through the workshop sessions or more formally through speakers either sharing their years of experience or their state of the art research. Well worth attending.

The new website signals this pioneering, resonating role and is a tribute to the many accomplishments and innovations European TTO’s have generated and implemented over many years, thus strengthening both our economy and society.
