description and objectives

This action seeks to enhance industry-academia cooperation in terms of research training, career development and knowledge sharing, in particular with SMEs, and including traditional manufacturing industries. It is based on longer term cooperation programmes with a high potential for increasing mutual understanding of the different cultural settings and skill requirements of both the industrial and academic sectors. The aim of this collaboration is cross-sectoral knowledge sharing and inter-sector mobility, based on targeted human resources interaction. Such research partnership projects shall exploit complementary competences of the participants as well as other synergies.

actions

The implementation of the cooperation programme will be realised by:

• Exchange of know-how and experience through inter-sector two-way secondments of research staff of the participants, with in-built return mechanisms, and also by enabling these staff to attend events in a trans-national setting. The exchange of staff is mandatory in all projects. Typically the exchange between sectors is in both directions, but there is flexibility.
• Networking activities, organisation of workshops and conferences to facilitate sharing of knowledge and culture between the participants in a wider setting, involving the participants' own research staff and external researchers.
• Optional recruitment by the participants of experienced researchers from outside the partnership for involvement in transfer of knowledge and/or in the training of researchers.
