The good industry partner- from a coordinator point of view
• Presents a critical problem – with scientific potential
• Does not expect to get results for nothing, and not tomorrow
• Participates actively in the working groups • Realizes the need and value of scientific
publications• Participates in publishing and exploiting the
project results • Does not “strangle” research by intellectual
property rights en masse

The bad industry partner- from a coordinator point of view
• More interested in the funding than in the outcomes of the project
• Expects immediate answers• Does not interact with the rest of partners • Does not participate in the meetings• Changes the contact person every 6 months• Hard to get information from it for completing
deliverables, cost statements

The ugly industry partner- from a coordinator point of view
• Participates in many consortiums, without having considered in detail the required resources, commitment or future interest.
• Although this partner could contribute actively, its role is not clearly established
• Usually works independently• Defines specifications at the beginning and
validates results at the end of the project: And what is its activity in the middle?
