DELIVERABLES
By embedding Open Science and social innovation across research stages, Kaleidos has created tools, trainings, and policy recommendations to support universities in making research more impactful and accessible.
The Kaleidos project’s public deliverables hub is a repository of all open-access documentation emerging from our work. Here, you can explore our project deliverables and policy briefs.
D1.1 – Analysis and Portfolio of professional skills and competences for Open Science
In this document with the results and analysis of the survey conducted with the quadruple helix stakeholders for the definition of the professional skills and competences that both researchers, managers and advisors should have to implement an open science-based innovation management.
As part of our commitment to open science and democratic empowerment, each document is freely downloadable and ready to support practitioners, policymakers, educators, researchers, and youth organisations in advancing equitable participation.

D3.1 - Innovation Ecosystem Analysis
Report analysing the structure and dynamics of innovation ecosystems through the Quadruple Helix model, with a particular focus on knowledge valorisation and collaboration between academia, industry, government and civil society. It examines the evolution from the Triple Helix to more inclusive innovation models, describes the distinctive role and contribution of each stakeholder, and explores practices such as open innovation, collaborative R&D, Living Labs, participatory design and co-creation.
The report also identifies key challenges affecting innovation ecosystems, including the alignment of stakeholder objectives, knowledge management and transfer, equitable participation, governance, and the lack of standardised frameworks for assessing impact. It highlights the conditions needed to develop more inclusive, sustainable and impact-oriented innovation ecosystems capable of responding to complex societal, economic and environmental challenges.
This deliverable was prepared by Nour Matta, Anaelle Hily and Davy Monticolo, from consortium member Université de Lorraine (UL), as part of the KALEIDOS project, funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement No 101132079.

D3.2 - Key indicators to measure innovation impact
This deliverable presents a comprehensive framework of key indicators to assess innovation impact within the Quadruple Helix (QH) model, addressing collaboration among academia, industry, government, and civil society. The report includes a literature review, an analysis of micro, meso, and macro impact levels, and a set of indicators structured across five dimensions: collaboration, open science, knowledge valorisation, skills development, and innovativeness. These indicators support the evaluation of joint efforts, stakeholder engagement, knowledge transfer, and the societal, economic, and environmental contributions of innovation ecosystems.
