This is an individual training program. It has two aspects: impact from research and career development.

Training Plan:

Training is online via Zoom. Personal meetings every second week. You will have individual feedback and personal coaching. You will use your own case as impact assignment. That will lead to your own plan of impact strategy and roadmap. This plan is a combination of research area and personal career plan. Research and technology has its impact. You as individual has also impact. Business is made between people. That is why personal impact is more important than the research impact.

In addition, there are transfer of knowledge (ToK) sessions with other R2B participants. At the ToK there is an introductory presentation. It is followed by a discussion.

The training program is 6 months. Anyone can enter at any time and complete training by following the training circle.

There are 10 ToK sessions . At each session there is a focus topic. The session starts with a presentation. It is followed by a discussion. The topics serve as exercises to understand the various aspects regarding impact from research.

A large part of climate solutions in year 2050
will come from things in R&D today

Our contribution is global

Each participant will have their specific Research impact assignment. This is taken from your own case. You will describe this and build your own impact strategy and roadmap.
