Good morning,
please find below our replies:
1. A manufacturer can operate for the best conclusion of the project: this is why we give, if the project is positively evaluated, 10k Euro for them. The use of the end users’ premises is obviously allowed, if this is a solution that can optimise results and time.
However, the roles of the end user (manufacturing SME) and of the service Provider(s) should be clearly distinguished, not mixing up them. And the evaluation will also consider whether the amount envisaged for the Provider(s) is worth in relation to the proposed activity.
2. Exactly. The ASAP highlights some challenges to be tackled, and the proposal should focus on the most important ones (max 2) for the manufacturing SME.
3. The IPR ownership is decided by the applicants: this is why we ask a preliminary consortium agreement among the Parties before the project start.
4. The NDA question is related to the evaluators: we will make them sign an NDA so to assure the privacy of the data. The applicants are not involved in this process, since it will be managed by the greenSME project.
Then, if the project will be positively evaluated for the Grant, the applicants will sign a sub-grant agreement with TEKNIKER (coordinator of greenSME) where all the issues of confidentiality among the applicants and greenSME consortium will be ruled
Best regards,
MESAP Innovation Cluster – greenSME project consortium
