Abstract
Knowledge valorisation refers to the process of making scientific/academic research available for practical use. Funding for research on renewable offshore wind energy is available via large-scale grants and subsidy programmes from the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (Economische Zaken en Klimaat, EZK) and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap, OCW). TKI Wind op Zee connects and supports researchers and organisations doing research in this field. This current explorative study aims to measure the level and quality of knowledge valorisation of successfully completed research projects in this field. To do so, available (final) project reports are analysed, meta-data on the projects has been collected (e.g. number of publications and product contributions), and a survey amongst the principal investigators has been executed. Figure S.1 gives an overview of the outcome of the survey. The results of this field work are combined with a literature study on the relevant indicators of knowledge valorisation.
