Bilateral workshop addressing specific challenge(s) posed by the company
Bilateral workshop addressing specific challenge(s) posed by the company
Stakeholders:
Objective of approach:
- Early identification of cooperation seeds, possibly leading to technology transfer projects
- Proactive networking with highly interesting leads
Bilateral workshop to foster industry-academia collaboration based on a specific challenge identified by the company. The approach requires the previous identification of expertise within the university / RTO and the sound preparation of materials to be presented during the workshop.
USP:
- Limitation of the workshop to one company + one university / RTO allows going deeper into possible confidential aspects (this can be regulated by an NDA)
- The challenge posed by the company can be addressed from many different angles (incl. complementary technologies, expertise, groups,...), allowing for highly transversal solutions
Resources:
- Company: key staff from the R&D department
- University / RTO: workshop facilitator, including the proactive identification and selection of research teams
- University / RTO research teams participating in the workshop
- Appropriate meeting room
- Appropriate material (incl. PC, beamer,...)
- Food and drinks for coffee break
Success factors:
- A previous perquisite is the existence of previous bilateral trust
- Good preparation of the workshop from both sides; however, special emphasis should be devoted to the role of the university / RTO facilitator
