3. Key questions before starting R+D+i

“Ideas are useless unless used”, Theodore Levitt

Ask yourself:- do I need it?- does the market need?- is the added value useful?- where’s my benefit?

Keep in mind:- Innovation has a cost- Real innovation thrives- Reinventing the wheel usually

returns the same original wheel

Costs: Eligible costs: Direct + Indirect costsPersonnel costs, running costs, used exclusively for performing the project activitiesKeep a financial record of all expendituresOwn financial management practices matter!

Long term benefit: co-financing of actions is usually required and in-kind contributions are accepted. The benefit comes latter on.

Responsibility: you are responsible for you own management and tasks, but you’re working in a collaborative project.

Bright idea? Double check it first, and start with the industrial SoA.What’s the deal with the “market” issue? It ensures the EC and the tax

payers that return the EU space their investment on your company, by delivering value to the market

At the end, what’s in it for me?

Pooling of critical mass of resources + working together to deliver excellent science + exploitable results.Ownership of excellent IP.Exclusive/negotiable exploitation of results.Co-funding of 70-100% of the research costs of the project.
