Participation of research institutes/universities is welcome as subcontractor of the company or partner according to each country’s funding regulations. All partners must express their will to cooperate, on an equal basis, in the development of a new product, industrial process or service. The product, process or service must be innovative and the technological risk is accepted. Projects in Technology Readiness Level 5 are best suitable for funding, or experimental development as defined in Frascati Manual.
