Description du projet
Dispenser des conseils aux PME bénéficiant d’un financement public
FeedS First est un projet de l’agence autrichienne de promotion de la recherche (FFG), l’agence nationale de la recherche et du développement industriel, qui vise à fournir un retour d’expérience aux PME, en particulier celles qui bénéficiant pour la première fois d’un financement. Jusqu’à présent, seules les demandes rejetées faisaient l’objet d’un retour d’expérience, mais la FFG a estimé que ses experts pouvaient apporter leur savoir-faire pour l’évaluation des projets, des plans d’affaires ou des demandes des PME. Le projet FeedS First donnera l’occasion à la FFG d’évaluer l’effet et l’efficacité des retours d’expérience professionnels qu’elle dispense aux entreprises sur une série de questions allant de l’exécution du projet aux perspectives à long terme.
Objectif
The main objective of this project is to test the effects of feedback provided by FFG experts to R&D projects of small companies and first-timers funded in the “General Programme” of the FFG.
The “General Programme” (https://www.ffg.at/en/general-programme-further-information(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)) of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) is the biggest and longest running R&D funding scheme in Austria.
The focus is on providing feedback for small companies and first timers in the FFG, which are funded in the “General Programme”. These types of companies are selected in this experiment because it was pre-assessed that in these cases feedback would be necessary. The feedback will be offered on the technical concept, the business plan and/or the written application. The effects of this feedback should be measured by the quality of the project execution, quality of future proposals and the success of the project outcomes and company.
So far feedback is only provided if the application is rejected. No feedback is given in case of a positive evaluation result. Only a contract is issued and sometimes there are conditions included in the contract (e.g. for financing statements). So, although these projects are classified as worth funding (à “good projects”) until now they do not receive any information on how to improve. This is what this INNOSUP-application intends to change: Give also feedback to the “good projects” in order to further improve the quality of the projects (e.g. in terms of technical issues or economic aspects) with the expectation that this feedback enhances business performance.
With this experiment FFG wants to test, if giving feedback for small enterprises and enterprises who apply the first time have positive effects on the quality of the project execution, quality of future proposals and the success of the project outcomes and company performance.
