Objective of approach: 

Joint definition of strategies in common research areas between the university and the company

The university (a research team in a specific topic or administrative staff from the PMO) and the company (through its co-located team at the university) jointly develop the strategy to follow to conduct research in a specific topic or area. Both teams also collaborate to identify opportunities for collaboration in projects funded at a local, national and European level and write proposals together.

USP: 

Developing a joint strategy between the university and the company in specific topics or research areas allows for increased efficiency in the relationship and the research results.

Resources: 
  • University staff (professors and students in a specific area)
  • Company staff (co-located team at the University)
Success factors: 
  • IP issues need to be addressed through a research agreement
Barriers: 
  • Identifying common interests might not be trivial
  • Identifying the correct person leading a certain topic or research area might not be trivial, especially in large organizations
