University of Liege (ULiege) - RISE

The RISE (Research, Innovation, Support and Enterprise) department is responsible for managing university research and transferring the knowledge generated by research units, in particular by setting up and implementing administrative projects, identifying and protecting valuable research results, and supporting their maturation and commercialization.

RISE contributes to the development of research by assisting the authorities in the definition, implementation and evaluation of strategic research and innovation policy, and by supporting researchers in their research mission, particularly in terms of funding, training and mobility. To encourage business-research collaborations, RISE also strives to create a genuine exchange dynamic between researchers and socio-economic players, enabling them to make contact with potential partners, promote their skills and facilities, and generate ideas for research projects.
