Our mission: to increase the project’s impact and fully exploit its results
Strane Innovation holds a unique position in European Research & Innovation projects: we bring both cross-cutting expertise, typically as WP leader, and specialised technical expertise that complements that of the other partners.
Our cross-disciplinary expertise: measuring, communicating & scaling sustainable impact
Sustainability and
impact assessment
Quantifying the environmental, social and economic value of projects.
- Life cycle assessment (LCA, social LCA)
- Life cycle costing (LCC)
- Techno-economic analysis (TEA)
- Cost-benefit analysis (CBA)
Holistically assessing environmental, social & economic impacts
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Quantifying environmental impacts for a product or process across its full life cycle (e.g. extraction, production, use, end-of-life) and impact categories (e.g. carbon footprint, water use, resource depletion).
Social hotspots, risks & opportunities (Social LCA)
Identifying social risk and opportunity hotspots for a product or process, using Social-LCA principles across stakeholder groups (e.g. workers, communities) and indicators (e.g. labour, health & safety, gender).
Life Cycle Costing (LCC), Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA), Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA)
Quantifying life-cycle costs, techno-economic viability, or the balance of costs against benefits, depending on what the project needs.
Territorial mapping and
spatial analysis
Mapping resources and territories to identify where solutions can be replicated.
- GIS mapping (QGIS)
- Spatial analysis of resources and flows
- Replication potential analysis
Locating opportunities and replication potential across territories
GIS mapping
Mapping resources, flows, infrastructure and land use with QGIS to give projects a clear spatial picture of their context.
Replication analysis
Identifying the territories where solutions can be replicated, based on spatial, technical and socio-economic criteria.
Communication and
dissemination of results
Making research visible, accessible and engaging.
- Visual identity
- Logo and website design
- Stakeholder engagement
A tailored communication & dissemination strategy
Communication
Effective, inclusive outreach on project activities and results to stakeholders and the general public.
Dissemination
Sharing scientific and technical results with researchers, industry, standardisation bodies and policymakers to maximise uptake.
Exploitation and
large-scale deployment
Turning research results into market-ready, replicable solutions.
- Intellectual property
- Licensing and market studies
- Replicability and business plans
Turning research results into market-ready, adoptable solutions
Through Strane's IMPACT methodology (Innovation Maturation Pathways for Adoption, Commercialization & Take-up):
- Key Exploitable Results (KERs) and Key Supporting Results (KSRs) analysis
- Ecosystem, market, competition & user insights
- IP management
Low TRL: maturation toolkits
Value proposition hypotheses, maturation roadmap & funding plan to cross the valley of death.
High TRL: go-to-market toolkits
Business plans, roadmaps, risks & mitigation.
Our thematic expertise: enhancing sustainable development
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
From mapping industrial flows to identifying synergies and managing circular value chains.
Water management and flood prevention
From analysing water reuse and circularity to modelling flood risks and their mitigation.
Ecosystem restoration and sustainable agriculture
From assessing ecosystem services to simulating crop yields and irrigation.
Bioeconomy
From sourcing biomass and by-products to managing bio-based value chains.
