Many of the scheduled for 2020 activities of the Trasversal Proyect: Institution-wide instruments for high performance research, innovation and technology transfer, IUC-UO VLIR Programme were deleted, readjusted or postponed for 2021.

The aim of this article is to expose the intermediate results of the project in 2020 and the impacts achieved, despite the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to expose the main barriers and possible solutions to be adopted in order to outline the final impacts of the aforementioned project, resulting in a greater economic and social benefit for the Orient University and its external stakeholders.
