What we mean by valorisation(a definition from the EU Commission)
"Valorisation" can be described as a process of exploiting project learning and outcomes (training products and processes, methodology, course materials etc) with a view to optimising their value and impact in existing and new contexts (target groups, companies, sectors, training institutions and systems etc). To be effective, the process requires:
• a focus on end user/target group needs from project inception;• dissemination of innovative training products and results;• selection and analysis of their suitability for transfer to meet identified new needs;• translation and adaptation to targeted new contexts;• piloting and experimentation;• leading to full integration into the new context.
