Targeted Support
Instruments, Platforms & Concepts
European instruments/ platforms/ initiatives can be considered as facilitators especially for "downstream activities", to exploit and diffuse results from earlier programming periods (FP6-FP7) and the current one (Horizon 2020), and as key elements in monitoring the implementation of synergies in their various forms.
Fiches for a selection of these are below and more will be made available. They describe their main contribution to the R&I landscape with a particular focus on the combination of different EU funding programmes and synergies, and are structured into three sections: Definition and context - Implementation - Possible synergies.
The fiches will be later enhanced with further research, addressing the situation as regards the take-up of public sector research results (including stemming from FP) by the private sector, the methods used for promoting the take-up, and the identification of barriers and good practices.
