The European Commission has published a call for proposals under the Marie Curie Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP). This action seeks to enhance industry-academia cooperation in terms of research training, career development and knowledge sharing, in particular with small and medium-sized enterprises, and including traditional manufacturing industries. It is based on longer-term cooperation programmes with a high potential for increasing mutual understanding of the different cultural settings and skill requirements of both the industrial and academic sectors. The IAPP action supports the 'Innovation Union' flagship initiative by strengthening research and business performance and by promoting innovation and knowledge transfer throughout the EU. Stronger cooperation between universities and business via staff exchange will encourage entrepreneurship and help to turn creative ideas into innovative products and processes that can efficiently address European and global societal challenges. This call specifically supports cooperation programmes between one or more research organisations (e.g. universities/research centres) and one or more commercial enterprises.To see the official call announcement, please consult: OJ No C 307 of 19 October 2011 and the following link
