How to submit your research results?Organizations can submit their exploitable results by filling in the on line form. Exploitable results are published after a quality assessment by CORDIS.
What is a technology offer?All research results submitted to the Results Service are assessed to reveal their exploitation potential and the top ones are selected for presentation as technology offers through a user-friendly and multimedia format. They are all re-written in a newsy journalistic style by CORDIS Editors and they may include images, illustrations diagrams or video.
All offers are classified into:
Three areas, according to offers' marketability and closeness to market.
Areas are:
- Business: The offer is close to exploitation/ has a prototype developed, is ready for market.
- Science: The offer is at the research and development stage, is highly scientific in nature and has exploitable potential to a very selective/specialized market.
- Society: The offer is mostly involved with concerns/issues that affect society at large, may cover areas that Business/Science do not cover.
Domains are:
- Biology/Medicine,

The Boolean operators "AND", "OR" and "NOT" may be combined with search terms in the text boxes. If two or more terms are entered with either a comma or a space separating them, the default operator will be "AND".
Phrase searches should be put in double quotes (e.g. "License Agreement").
Wildcards ('?' for 1 character, or '*' for multiple characters) may be used within terms or to truncate word endings (e.g. 'parasit*'; 'analy?e').
Multiple terms may be selected in any of the list boxes in the Advanced Search or Professional Search interfaces. To select multiple terms using Windows, hold down the control key while clicking on your terms.
