German term or phrase: Wissenszugewinn
In enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kunden konnten wir eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung mit ganzheitlicher Betrachtung von Wärmedämmstoffen durchführen, deren Ergebnisse uns auch als interner Wissenszugewinn nützen

From a report on a department's activities for the in-house magazine
