TWINN2SET supported IG/FORTH citizen engagement activities, including a workshop and photography exhibition on energy transition and climate change, as well as participation in Researchers’ Night 2025 and InnoDays 2025.

Effective management of Intellectual Property is essential for transforming research results into innovation and societal impact, yet dedicated expertise and procedures may be limited within widening organisations. TWINN2SET addresses this need through activities focused on IPR management, best practices in IP policies, technology transfer and entrepreneurship, supporting the faster and more successful valorisation of innovative technologies for the benefit of society.

Fundraising through competitive proposals remains a challenge for many widening organisations, where dedicated processes and support structures are often limited. TWINN2SET addresses this gap through workshops on the “Strategic Approach to Mapping Funding Opportunities”, resource alignment, proposal preparation, project management, administration and time management, drawing on the experience and best practices of project partners.

As part of TWINN2SET capacity-building activities, a programme of Soft Skills Workshops was implemented to strengthen researchers’ transferable skills and institutional capacity. Topics included RRI, Open Science, FAIR data, gender in research, hydrogen technologies, CCS, communication, stakeholder engagement and knowledge transfer, supporting collaboration, best-practice exchange and research excellence.
