The IAM4RE MOOC is a self-paced introductory learning programme for anyone who wants to understand how research results can become useful, visible and impactful. It is designed for learners with little or no prior knowledge and provides a practical starting point before moving into the more advanced IAM4RE Training Suite.
Rather than going deeply into expert methods, the MOOC builds a shared foundation: what intellectual assets are, why knowledge valorisation matters, how standardisation supports uptake, and how researchers can start thinking more strategically about impact.

Why take the MOOC?

Many researchers produce valuable results but are unsure how to move beyond publication. The IAM4RE MOOC helps learners understand how research outputs can become intellectual assets, how different valorisation pathways can be considered, and why standardisation can support trust, interoperability and wider uptake.


How the course is structured

The MOOC consists of 8 short modules. Each module follows a simple learning structure:
  • Two short videos
  • A practical application task
  • A short quiz to check understanding


After completing the MOOC, you will be able to recognise research outputs as potential intellectual assets, understand basic knowledge valorisation pathways, identify why standardisation can matter for research uptake, reflect on publication, protection, openness, and impact, prepare for more advanced IAM4RE training and institutional support.
