Towards an Energy Community at the LIEGE science park
21 companies and ULiège are studying the possibility of setting up an energy community at the LIEGE science park, in a pioneering approach based on the willingness of players to work together.
As a public university open to the world and is anchored in the scientific, cultural and economic development of its region, the University of Liège relies on its three pillars: teaching, research and civic engagement.
ULiège trains responsible citizens who are provided with cutting-edge knowledge and critical thinking, are able to share knowledge and can push forward an increasingly complex world.
ULiège develops and promotes excellence in research, multidisciplinary and direct engagement with its instruction.
Global exposure is a top priority at the University of Liège. The institution offers a wide range of international mobility opportunities to students, researchers and staff, enabling them to enhance their cross-disciplinary skills and language knowledge.
ULiège: an experience of daily living. Located in 3 cities and 4 campuses, the university is a key player in terms of the environment and mobility.
The BOSS (Business Opportunity Self-Assessment Methodology) platform has the particularity of enabling entrepreneurs, professors, researchers and students to independently assess the relevance and maturity of their idea. The combined use of the tools, namely the self-assessment questionnaire, the planning tool, the declaration form and the training materials, thus aims to encourage the creativity, the understanding and the necessary interactions throughout the development of an idea towards the market.
The self-assessment methodology is based on a single form divided into 6 categories (Technology, Team, Market, Unique Value Proposition, Intellectual Property, Finance) allowing to objectify the evaluation criteria and to measure its stage of evolution. The project manager then becomes aware of the level of maturity of his project and the actions to be taken to develop it.
This tool, which is particularly well suited to the current situation, is available with unrestricted access throughout the world to train any researcher and entrepreneur with quality educational materials and enable them to embark on an entrepreneurial project in a secure manner. In the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the Knowledge Transfer Office remains the privileged contact for all academic researchers for the support of their innovation projects and for business-research collaborations.
VentureLab, Picarré and LIEU are associated partners of the project.
