Level 3 — Certification

Professional certification & organisation labels

Here, ADALIA reverses the logic of accreditation: it does not receive it, it awards it. Two distinct offerings — certifying professionals, labelling organisations along OSE principles.

Objective

To recognise and make visible the command of the OSE framework — in a professional through certification, in a support organisation through a label.

The two paths

  1. 01
    Certifying professionals

    For ecosystem builders and programme managers: assessment of command of the five-layer framework and of practice, on file and in situation.

  2. 02
    Organisation label

    For incubators, accelerators, programmes and universities: an audit of the scheme along OSE principles, then the award of a label.

  3. 03
    The standard

    A shared standard, grounded in the OSE scientific framework and peer-reviewed.

  4. 04
    The process

    Framing, file preparation supported by the team, assessment, decision and award.

What it brings

  • A verifiable, credible professional recognition
  • For an organisation: visibility, a label and a link to the OSE Connect ecosystem
  • The backing of a recognised scientific standard
  • A differentiating advantage with funders and partners

ADALIA awards professional certifications and labels, not state accreditations. That is precisely the deliberate reversal: authority is also built by conferring it.

Get certified, label your organisation.
