Abstract: 

Sub-project methodology aims at the pre-competitive research, i.e. providing solutions at a demo level (TRL 5-6), e.g. to industrial partners from NCK-KUI or elsewhere commercially. NCK-KUI industrial members of the consortium will help specifying particular practical applications of interest, will shape the demo specifications and will participate in R&D activities by nominating their employees to the project demo team. The principle of openness of NCK-KUI will help to promote collaboration between NCK-KUI 14 subprojects. However, the IPR and commercialization constraints will be taken into account. T1.b subproject will share R&D laboratories and workshops with consortium partners at reciprocal or commercial basis.
