Tender: consultants for analysing exploitation of nano projects
The European Commission's Directorate-General for Research has published a call for tenders for exploitation strategy and innovation consultants (ESIC) for nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies (NMP). The call refers to on-demand services to secure and enhance the potential impact of the results of projects co-financed by the Commission within the activity 'Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials and new production technologies - NMP'. The tasks to be performed will more specifically aim at identifying and addressing potential obstacles to the exploitation of project results. These may be internal obstacles, such as diverging expectations or intentions between project partners (risk for conflict of interest), as well as external obstacles, such as legislative or normative influences, market evolution, development of other technologies to solve the same problem or address the same market, lack of training, lack of acceptance by society, etc. Services take the form of project analysis (desk work), assistance at project meetings, exploitation strategy seminars, first line consulting, presentations, and other.For further information, please contact: European Commission Directorate-General for Research Directorate G: Industrial Technologies attn: Mr Stefaan Vandendriessche Office CDMA 6/116 B-1049 Bruxelles E-mail: RTD-ESIC-FOR-NMP@ec.europa.eu To see the full details of the call, please consult the following web address: http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:152142-2007:TEXT:EN:HTML(opens in new window)
