What is valorisation? I
The process of enhancing or optimising project
outcomes through experimentation and exploitation
with a view to increasing their value and impact
/ the ultimate aim is to transfer promising
project results into educational and vocational
training systems - practices throughout the
countries participating in the programme the
process of exploitation of project learning and
of the results of projects with a view to
optimising their value and impact in existing and
new contexts (target groups, companies, sectors,
education institutions, etc) the process of
disseminating and exploiting project outcomes
with a view to optimising their value, enhancing
their impact and integrating them into training
systems and practices at local/national level as
well as European level

countries participating in the programme (EC
Action plan. To develop innovation in vocational

in existing and new contexts (target groups,
companies, sectors, education institutions,
etc) (Leonardo da Vinci website) the process

plan Guidelines for project promoters)

What is valorisation? II
The testing, dissemination and exploitation
of the results of the most innovative training
and education projects and their development in
new contexts and environments. (EC EAC brochure
What is valorisation?) It encompasses - the
sustainable application of these results over
time in - formal and informal systems - the
practices of companies and associations - the
personal training goals of every individual

What is valorisation? III

• exploiting the results of projects
• further developing project results in different
  contexts
• and situations (e.g. regions, countries,
  sectors)
• recognising good practice and encouraging
  relevant
• key players to do so
• embedding project results into the practices of
  organisations
• mainstreaming project results into local,
  regional, national
• or European provision
• (UK Valorisation guidance note for promoters,
  2004)

What is valorisation? V
Het geven van meerwaarde aan de resultaten van
een project buiten de directe grenzen van het
LdV project !!!!!!
de directe grenzen van het LdV project worden
bepaald door de projectdoelstellingen
Referentiebegrippen, die eerder zijn
gebruikt transfer, impact, added value,
mainstreaming, multiplier effect

Valorisation
Het geven van meerwaarde aan de resultaten van
een project buiten de directe grenzen van het
LdV project !!!!!!
Hoe doe ik dat? Waar moet ik rekening mee houden?
Elk project is uniek. Het bestaat uit eenmalige
combinatie van één of meer doelstellingen werkwij
zen één of meer doelgroepen kleiner of groter
aantal partners kleiner of groter aantal
partnerlanden verschillende contexten

projects example of objectives

• Objectives of the project, an example
• Production of adequate training module to get
  students acquainted with Interlaboratory
  Researches (ILRs)
• Determine the currently best possible method of
  analysis (best performing, best fit, most
  student friendly, most environmental friendly)
  for selected cases
• Produce and compare with each other results with
  the self-developed analysis and valuate own
  achievements
• Confront students with national, European and
  international norms and (dis)advantages for their
  school situation, and have them assess
  suitability
• Set up an outline for optimising analysis methods
• Develop materials about adequate analysis
  techniques in conformity with the didactics
  chosen together
• Enable schools to profit from know how of local
  or international companies of quality assurance
  and analysis methods
• Transfer know how from companies to laboratory
  schools
• Intensified cooperation and lasting contacts
  between laboratory schools and (local) companies
• Communicate with partner schools and companies
  about methods, etc. by an ICT network fit for the
  purpose

Valorisation of results of Leonardo da Vinci
projects some advices

• besteed veel zorg aan needs analysis (incl.
  context analysis),
• niet alleen in NL maar ook in partnerlanden
• wees zorgvuldig met keuze van partnerlanden
• beperk het aantal partnerlanden
• maak goede afweging tussen heterogeniteit en
  homogeniteit
• van partnerschap
• wees zorgvuldig met keuze van partners
• schakel partners in bij needs en context
  analysis

Valorisation of results of Leonardo da Vinci
projects some advices

• formuleer beperkt aantal heldere, afgebakende
• projectdoelstellingen, eventueel verschillend
  per land
• bedenk samen met partners vooraf / in begin van
  project
• strategie om gerealiseerde projectresultaten te
  valoriseren
• veranker valorisatie-strategie in eigen
  organisatie en die
• van de partners
• dissemineer projectinformatie tijdens de
  projectuitvoering
• in relatie tot valorisatie-strategie
• - realiseer kwalitatief goede projectresultaten
