PROs GRowing Europe through best practice SolutionS for Technology Transfer (PROGRESS-TT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Innovation is at the heart of Europe’s growth strategy. However, Europe lags behind its international competitors in converting investment in Public Research Organisation PRO research into commercial returns via innovation. The solution lies in improving the transfer of technology from PROs to industry but there are many barriers to effective technology transfer, including: Most Technology Transfe ...

SelfPOCNAD - Development of a Point of Care Detection Device and Self Sampling Device for Cervical Cancer Screening – (SelfPOCNAD)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Our project is to develop a commercial pre-production prototype point of care test for invasive cervical cancer (ICC). This easy-to-use lab-on-a-chip system (SelfPOCNAD) will enable women to collect samples in the comfort of their own homes and take them into a GP surgery for testing and provision of immediate results. This will dramatically increase compliance of women with the ICC screening pr ...

Global Value Chains as an Emerging Challenge for National and European RTD Policies (GLOVAL)

Start date: Feb 2, 2009, End date: Nov 1, 2011,

"Private enterprises operate increasingly through and within global value chains (GVCs). This affects not only the spatial distribution of production activities. The research strategies of firms are changing too and research linkages are also globalizing, and this change is further reinforced as more and more firms adopt strategies of “open innovation”. As a consequence, firms’ original locations ...
