On 10–12 November 2026, the widerAdvance Facility invites participants to two complementary events in Tenerife combining peer learning, research valorisation, networking and opportunities to build new business and project connections.
Study Visit | 10–11 November 2026
The two-day Study Visit offers participants the opportunity to explore the Canary Islands’ research and innovation ecosystem and see how local organisations approach knowledge and technology transfer, research valorisation, collaboration with industry and regional innovation development.
The programme focuses on practical examples and exchange of experience that can be relevant across different scientific fields and sectors.

Open Day & Matchmaking Event | 12 November 2026
The following day will focus on research results, their market potential and building new partnerships.
The programme includes pitching of Key Exploitable Results, expert feedback and matchmaking with companies, experts and other actors from the innovation ecosystem.
It is an opportunity not only to showcase research results, but also to meet people and organisations that could help take them further towards application, collaboration or commercialisation.

One trip – two opportunities
Participants may register for either event, but joining both offers the greatest value. The Study Visit provides inspiration and first-hand insight into successful practices, while the Matchmaking Event creates an opportunity to apply that knowledge to your own research results and build new connections.
📅 Registration deadline: 14 October 2026, 23:00 CET.
If you are looking for new ideas, contacts, partners or opportunities to increase the impact of your research results, Tenerife is a good place to start.
