Involving industrial partners

Has somesimilarities with thewild west – younever know theoutcome




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?
