Industry, Training and Dissemination

The objectives of the total Industry, Training and Dissemination (ITD) activities are to ensure involvement of industry, particularly addressing the SMEs, to manage adequate training programs, to manage knowledge by proper dissemination, and to manage Intellectual Property Rights as drafted in the Consortium Agreement. The activities are organised in six blocks, each having defined objectives and planned structure, but as the different actions are highly interconnected it is necessary to have a tight coordination.

ITD 1 Communication to Industry, Consumer and Public Administration: The objective of this activity is to ensure, through the effective cooperation of the end-users’ organisations, that the results produced in the consortium will be exploited and the knowledge adequately disseminated beyond the consortium.
