History of the TRLs Scale & Today’s Discussion on the TRL
Scale

TRLs Origin: NASA
Why?
To improve communication
between science and planning
When? •V1: During the 1970s (7 levels)
•V2: During the 1990s (9 levels)
What?
The space shuttle (an single innovative system)!
Who?
NASA started,
today other US departments followed (DOD, DOE)
![Page 21: EARTO Innovation School 2 March 2015 Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia Brussels](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bfa51a28abf838c97b68/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What is a TRLs Scale?
• A Method:– to assess maturity of critical product technologies– to create a common understanding of the technology status
• Focused on a single (product) technology• Especially used for space and defense related innovations• Often specialty innovations with single production (systems)
![Page 22: EARTO Innovation School 2 March 2015 Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia Brussels](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bfa51a28abf838c97b68/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Issues concerning the use of TRLs
• Lack of attention to setbacks• Single technology maturity: multi-
technology process cannot be modelled with a simple linear approach
• Context specific: space as origin• Focus on product development:
Forgetting other “Levels” not in “T”RLs such as– Manufacturing readiness – System readiness– Commercialization readiness– Innovation readiness – Stage gate processes
![Page 23: EARTO Innovation School 2 March 2015 Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia Brussels](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bfa51a28abf838c97b68/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why using TRLs Scale?
• Synchronizes communication about innovation processes
• Minimizes risks due to improved communication
• Structures decision making processes by formalizing the progress of innovation
• Formalizes funding mechanisms
![Page 24: EARTO Innovation School 2 March 2015 Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia Brussels](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bfa51a28abf838c97b68/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The TRLs Scale as an Evaluation Tool
![Page 27: EARTO Innovation School 2 March 2015 Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia Brussels](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bfa51a28abf838c97b68/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Today’s Many Usage
OECD uses 4 levels for statistics purpose:•Basic research (TRL1-3), •Development (TRL 3-5), •Demonstration (TRL 6-7) •Early deployment (TRL 8-9)
EU policy instruments using different approaches in their RDI funding:•H2020: General Annexes D (Types of Action) and G (TRLs)•ERDF: basic research, technical & applied research, pilot lines/early product validation actions/advanced manufacturing capabilities, and first production
EIB uses 4 levels for investment purpose:•Research (TRL1-3)•Development (TRL 3-6)•Innovation (TRL 6-8) •Production support (TRL 9)
National/regional research and innovation programmes have to bid to State Aid GBER (e.g. Art 25) using:•Fundamental research, •Industrial Research, •Experimental research, •Feasibility studies
TRLs are often grouped… but in
different
ways… depending on the context
![Page 28: EARTO Innovation School 2 March 2015 Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia Brussels](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bfa51a28abf838c97b68/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
H2020 TRL scale
• Focuses on a single technology
• Left open for interpretation• Issues:
Research solutions today generally require various technologies
H2020 has instruments looking at different phases in technology development
![Page 29: EARTO Innovation School 2 March 2015 Representation of North Rhine-Westphalia Brussels](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5697bfa51a28abf838c97b68/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
TRL scale: The Holy Grail?
• TRLs scale as evaluation tool must be explored, related to the different RD&I funding mechanisms existing today: H2020, ERDF, Member States
• Active learning will help us analysing the drawbacks and bottlenecks, and finding ways for fine-tuning
• Need of evidence-based arguments for the next revision of EU State Aid Rules post-2020

RTOs house research infrastructures benefitting many stakeholders
• SMEs rarely have the funds to invest in extensive R&D infrastructure in terms of equipment, time, and/or personnel
• A research infrastructure can be used for completely new technology piloting for testing changes in an existing product for validating an emerging concept as a collaborative action of
several industrial players

Turning wood into Fish food by SP
QuestionIs it possible to make fish food from forest products?
SP’s contributionSP Processum has produced single-cell protein at the SP Biorefinery Demo Plant that can be used in fish food. Micro-organisms are fed with waste from the forest industry … a smart way of converting the forest into food!
ResultSuccessful feed trials are being conducted by a project partner in Iceland.
