Societal
aims
Attract female
students
Capture the attention:
events for & with children
Correlate education efforts with industrial
requirements
Improve MSc and PhD students mobility
![Page 21: SMEs in the EU R&D context](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816381550346895dd466f2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
COST experience for IMST
PROS CONS
No direct benefits
Heavy weight of university
“Academic thinking”
Limited tools
Networking
Reputation/Excellence
Links to academia / HR aspects
Flexibility
![Page 22: SMEs in the EU R&D context](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816381550346895dd466f2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IMST experience in EU projects
Good support for internal R&D Long-term projects International presence Financial security during project
lifespan
![Page 23: SMEs in the EU R&D context](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816381550346895dd466f2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
IMST experience in EU projects Complete system solution expected ‘Academic thinking’: expectations, planning,
etc. Too high-tech / ‘fashion-driven’ Consortium building: who to call?
- i.e.: Linknovate, a ‘LinkedIn for science' On-line information confusing Proposals: costly procedure Accounting issues
![Page 24: SMEs in the EU R&D context](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816381550346895dd466f2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Wishes for future R&D Exploitation: product definition, business cases, market
introduction Gap research/product:
Industrialisation Standard conformance, testing etc.
Possibility of small proposals (small consortium/single partner)
Short proposal cycles / quick start Limited time for innovation Support in IP protection
Stable financial basis: funding schemes that match SMEs’ costs over the project time
![Page 25: SMEs in the EU R&D context](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081503/56816381550346895dd466f2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Conclusions
COST as ‘way of life’ SMEs need more attractive
conditions EU-funded project vital for SMEs Framework should be improved
